Cluster Sets – What Are They & How Do They Work

October 27, 2021 By Gregor Winter Leave a Comment

Now as early access on our Patreon: Cluster Set Deep Dive!

Learn what they are and how to use them in weightlifting (or strength training in general).

In our video about strength training we briefly touched on cluster sets and asked if you wanted to see a specific video about this topic. You said “Yes!” so here is that video!

We talked with James Tufano, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biochemistry at Charles University in the Czech Republic. He is an EXPERT on cluster sets, and has been studying them—and their benefits!—for years.

This video goes into:

  • How we define cluster sets
  • What benefits they offer for adding weight, reps, and maintaining speed
  • How to use them for strength/power movements
  • Benefits and uses of clusters for more technical movements
  • And more!

If you want even more detail into cluster sets we’ve also got the full interview with Dr Tufano available as a podcast episode, which you can watch or listen to.

Let us know what you think! And if you use cluster sets, or have used them in the past, let us know that as well.

As always thank you for your support! You all make content like this possible ?
