Plan Details
The 5x5 FST-7 Fusion Program routine by brucelynch is a 5 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
1. Strength + Hypertrophy • Main 5×5 lifts ? build raw strength • Secondary 6–8 rep lifts ? size + upper-chest / lats / shoulders • FST-7 finishers ? muscle fullness, pump, fascia stretch ? better long-term growth 2. Rest Periods • 5×5 ? 2–3 min • 6–8 rep ? 90 sec • Accessories ? 60–90 sec • FST-7 ? 30–40 sec 3. Progression • Every 3-week wave: increase weight slightly on main lifts and secondary heavy lifts • If you can complete all reps clean ? +5 lbs upper body, +10 lbs lower body next wave • Accessories & FST-7 ? aim to increase mind-muscle connection / stretch / contraction, not necessarily load 4. Form & Tempo • FST-7 ? slow eccentric (2–3 sec), full squeeze at peak • Hypertrophy ? moderate tempo (2:0:1) • Strength ? explosive concentric, controlled eccentric 5. Tracking Tips • JFit allows notes ? track RPE, energy level, pump quality • For FST-7, note stretch / contraction on each set • Track weights for secondary lifts to ensure progressive overload 6. Optional Adjustments • If recovery is tough, drop accessories by 1 exercise • You can rotate FST-7 finishers weekly (e.g., cable fly ? pec deck ? dumbbell fly)
