Are cluster sets longer rest periods than muscle rounds?Cluster from today’s legs. If you’re ever in KC, and you’re a bodybuilder, go to Flex. Incredible gym. (If you’re a powerlifter, go to Strong).
Clusters are amazing, especially for quads and triceps IMO. Great way to rack up a lot of near-failure reps while only getting the fatigue of actually hitting failure once. 6x4 muscle rounds ala Scott Stevenson are where I started, but I’ve found 4-5x8-10 to be super productive for quads. And it may sound like bro science, but I swear the combination of relatively high tension with a huge metabolic stimulus is A1 for developing roundness. I think this is why Tuor’s trainees often improve so much in that regard.
Muscle rounds are just a type of cluster set. So is DC-style rest pause. There are infinite possibilities, you can manipulate the reps per round, proximity to failure, rest periods in tons of ways.Are cluster sets longer rest periods than muscle rounds?
I usually go shorter. Mostly Dr Scott’s iteration of 6x4 with 10 seconds rest in between.Are cluster sets longer rest periods than muscle rounds?
When I go to 90lbs on chins I always get a little nervous with the full stretch. Got to make sure to live to fight another day so to speak
decided to go heavy. not quite the tempo id like
i cant do chins anymore, even bodyweight gives me tendonitis on the end of the bicep. sucks because theyre probably my favorite bicep builder. luckily i can still get away with ng pullupsWhen I go to 90lbs on chins I always get a little nervous with the full stretch.

Where are you doing these sets, is that a medical curtain?
