Hey, this may be a stupid question but what are clusters? How many you can do in a certain time frame?

Sent from my DROID X2 using EliteFitness

Cluster is a way of getting more reps in a heavy weight but still gettingA TON of volume in. For example. I can do sets of 5-6 dips with 80lns. So I take a timer n do 3-4 reps n rest. Shoot for as many reps as possible in 10 minutes.

I like doing clusters when I'm working out my calves. I have noticed more gains doing calves this way. I don't usually do clusters for any other muscle group but that's not a bad idea doing it with dips.

Did Push on Monday and Pull today...

I have a hairline fracture in my left leg just below knee (shin). I won't be doing legs for about a month. Well I will only work my right (good) leg. Is that bad??

Mike! Help a buddy out.

Hey wegs thanks for popping in!

 

[Elrock]

Sorry about the leg injury bro. No you should not just train the one leg. Just wait until the injury is healed then go back to working out legs.
Speedy recovery!

 

[Buildingup24]

Yeah I realized that pretty quick. Was a waste of time.
