FINALLY we have access to our account again - So here’s a strength tip 😏

Heavy reps build strength—but fatigue can quickly reduce the quality of your work. 🏋️

That’s where cluster sets can help.

Instead of completing every repetition continuously:

2–3 heavy reps → rack the weight → rest 30 seconds → complete 1 more rep

The short rest provides partial recovery, helping you maintain better technique, force and intent on the final repetition. This allows you to accumulate more high-quality work at a strength-specific load without every set turning into a grind.

Try them with your main compound lifts, such as the squat, bench press or deadlift.

Save this and give cluster sets a try during your next strength block.
