I misread it though....he's right about that.

I read it as 30 sets of one as well.

What the heck does any of it have to do with clusters? Picking a volume borrows more from density training than it does from clusters.

A cluster is basically inserting mini rest periods between reps or rep groupings within a straight set. Say 10 to 20 seconds.

So, for instance, you take a 5 RM and instead of doing it 5 times straight, you do one, rest for 10 to 20, do another, (or do two reps then rest or whatever) and the little rests in between allows you to lift that given load more times than you would have otherwise. So, it simply is using short rests within a "set" to allow you to lift a give load more times than you normally would with straight sets.

Theres a lot of different things you could do with that but that's the gist of it.

Picking a number of reps and just separating it into different set groups is not clusters but...I don't know what it is.

Widowmakers, btw, that Kane mentioned are the same thing (after failure) but they are really the old "breathing squats" and are about volume more than intensity. I really wouldn't lump that in with clusters, it's just beyond failure training (not that this seems to be a widowmaker..as said, it looks like 30 of one, not one of 30). 30 rep widowmakers would be silly though.

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