do radiant I don't know any terms for that I read a study the other day that I would love to so let's see if you guys can poke holes the study itself isn't a problem I'll pull it up It's that... Are we going to talk about how fat you are today or no? No. What? Okay. We'll get there. Sweet. I don't know how you're so good with numbers, dude. It's ridiculous how good you are with numbers. Okay.

Okay.
So this study, and I was kind of like I did a post about it and I was a dick and I took it down because I'm like, I shouldn't be like that. I shouldn't talk like that. But I read this study. I read the post and it's by Brad Schoenfeld, which I love. He's got great research. This dude's got some of the best research.

Absolutely love his stuff. But sometimes these studies, many times, they give us good information, but then a trainer or a coach or a fitness influencer will try and take it and apply it, and they start to miss the force for the tree. So I'll read you what he wrote. So they did a study comparing cluster sets to traditional sets. for muscle hypertrophy.

So you guys know what a cluster set is, right? That's where you do so many reps, you wait 10 seconds, do more reps.

Okay, so do I. So here's what it says. Our new study showed similar increases in muscle thickness between cluster sets and traditional sets. Okay, in other words, equal. Now here's the part where I'm like, okay. When total volume and intensity of effort were equated between conditions. Here's the deal.

I don't know anybody who has ever done a cluster set and not dramatically increased the intensity. It never comes along with the same intensity as a traditional set. It's always a intensity increaser. This is why people will swear by cluster sets. It works so great. It ramps it up. So in a study, they controlled that. But in the real world, nobody controls that. Nobody would control that.
