We know it is beneficial to rest between sets, but should you rest between reps? Cluster sets have been used since the 1940s, but there is still research being conducted to learn more about this unique training style. Dr. Greg Haff is a leader in this area both in researching and teaching the benefits of cluster sets. His experience with cluster sets began with Mike Stone while doing his own training as an athlete. After completing his PhD., he and his wife began doing research on cluster sets, and he has been exploring their benefits since that time. Dr. Haff has written about the topic in his own research as well as his book, Scientific Foundations and Practical Applications of Periodization, in his co-edited, Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning, Fourth Edition, and as a contributor to NSCA's Developing Power, Second Edition.
