OK. This is not regular HST.
Regular HST is 2 workouts, which alternate, 3 times a week.
Week 1: A,B,A
Week 2: B,A,B
etc.
There are NOT 4 per workout, it's more like 8-10. Each exercise has a low number of sets (1-3).
Usually you have 2-3 week blocks;
Week 1-2: 12-15RM
Week 3-4 or 3-5: 8-10RM
Week 6-8 or 6-9: 4-6RM
THAT's regular HST.
Cluster HST is not so far off. Its 4 days a week. You pick some exercises and you do a given amount of volume. 4 exercises sounds about right to me. I wouldn't go higher than 6 personally.
It is NOT squatting 3x per week. It's 2 times for lower and 2 times for upper. It doesn't have to be squatting either, it can be squats and deadlifts.
BTW, the way they talk about fatigue...I'm inclined to say that the first number is the set and the second is the rep. Meaning its not a widow maker set of 30, its 30 sets of 1 rep.
