We talk all about CLUSTER SETS with Dr James Tufano, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biochemistry at Charles University in the Czech Republic. Cluster sets are a great way to add repetitions (and therefore volume) while maintaining speed and power with heavier weights. Dr Tufano—an expert on this topic—goes deep into the research behind cluster sets and when, how, and why to use them. This is an episode absolutely filled with insights about strength training for any athlete or coach!
