My chest workouts as of late have been a bit boring so I upped the intensity and volume with this one. I guess one point I should make clear is that I don’t train for strength. Many guys who are new to working out think that part of being a bodybuilder is about getting as strong as possible. While it would be nice to be a freak like Johnnie Jackson or Ronnie Coleman, most of us aspiring bodybuilders more or less push weight to gain mass, not strength. I’ve been employing some FST-7 inspired "7’s" to more or less increase the fluid volume capacity in my muscles and the surrounding interstitial tissues. What this does is allow for a more "fuller" look to the muscle. when combined with DC style extreme stretching, it really helps loosen up the fascia a bit too for enhanced growth (hopefully).

That song is one of my workout favorites.

good points above, but in terms of building strength, ive never seen anyone who can bench 500, military press 400, and squat 600 who complains about lagging mass, increasing strength is certainly part of the equation…show me someone who benches 225 and is benching the same 225 a year later, and ill show you someone who hasn’t grown…just food for thought…
