In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past and Present, Jake and Chris start by discussing one of the most widely used methods of the Silver Era; the 20 rep squat. They then dive into the physiology of cluster sets: what they are, how they differ from rest-pause and drop sets, and how cluster sets can be programmed to offer benefits over traditional straight sets.
Key topics include:
• Reg Park chest specialisation phase (including the classic 20-rep breathing squat method)
• Fatigue mechanisms in clusters explained: metabolite, calcium-ion, spinal, and supraspinal fatigue
• Clusters vs rest-pause vs drop sets
• Practical guidelines for programming clusters
