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!

The Science of Cluster Sets for Olympic Weightlifting! With James Tufano, PhD

In this episode....1. Background2. Publishing papers on Cluster training3. What is the mechanism by which Cluster Training overcomes fatigue?4. A case for traditional training methods for hypertrophy5. Standardizing the language in Cluster training publications6. Can you differentiate and describe protocols that have been used as a cluster in scientific community?7. Which protocol do you recommend?8. Acute effects on strength, power, and hypertrophy using clusters? Data on chronic effects?9. What is the most appropriate time of training year to use clusters?10. Time efficiency and other possible drawbacks of cluster sets11. Reporting variables of training such as average and peak power and velocities12. Would you totally abolish traditional structures?13. Future research on clusters14. How to connect with James Tufano
