Welcome back to another episode of the Iron Sights Podcast with the crew from Red Dot Fitness. Today we’re diving into one of the most underutilized yet powerful training methods out there — cluster sets.
Most lifters stick to straight sets like 3x10 or 5x5, but cluster sets can be a game changer when it comes to improving strength, power, and muscle growth without adding junk volume. We break down what they are, how to set them up, and when to use them depending on your specific goals.
As always, we bring some practical, real-world insight into how to implement these methods in your own training without overcomplicating things. Whether you’re chasing more power, muscle endurance, or just looking to get more out of your time in the gym, this episode is for you.
