No not exactly. Cluster sets are essentially a sort of "rest-pause" method. That is not to say that some of these guys may not be talking about what you just said, though, Pity.

The basic concept of a cluster is simply a group of singles with short rest periods in between.

So think of it something like this: If you take a load that you can do 5 or 6 reps with, say around 80%, for a cluster you may be able to increase it to 85%, but between each of those 5 or 6 reps you rest for 15 up to 30 seconds (although personally I believe 30 seconds is a bit much). So you basically get the same volume at higher intensity due to the partial recovery between reps.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
