You know, the think is, you can also just throw in a cluster at the end of sets in order to get more work at a given intensity. And that can make a big difference. With pullups you can't change you bodyweight very quickly but you can change how much work you can get at that body weight. Here's the thing, and I know Kane agrees, lifting a given heavy wieght MORE times is the simplest way to get stronger.

The thing about adding reps to pullups, though, is that it is a time when failure is useful. When it comes to increasing reps failure works very well for that versus increasing absolute strength and power. In a way..cluster training is "working beyond" that failure point. Especially when you tack on a cluster for extra work at the end. You just have to be willing to dial back other things when needed or if needed.

If you think of something you can normally do for a certain number of reps using straight sets, but you do twice that much, no matter how fast, etc...that's good. But it's a tool like anything and can be overused.

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