Velocity Declines When Repetitions Performed Continuously
Significant reduction in velocity when the number of repetitions was over ⅓ (34%) and ½ (48%) of the total number of repetitions performed for bench press and back squat, respectively

Causes of Fatigue• Acidosis
• Disassociation of hydrogen ions from lactate often associated with decrease in force
• Number of studies have demonstrated not the cause
• Inorganic phosphate (Pi)• Increases during contraction
mainly from breakdown of PCr
• Released in the transition from low force, weakly attached state, to high force state, strongly attached state
• Research limited
• Adenine diphosphate (ADP)• Increases during repeated
contractions coincident with PCr depletion
• Partial recovery of shortening velocity linked to removal of ADP by enzyme action or diffusion
• Experiments on skinned fibers show a major inhibitory effect on velocity of shortening

Hypothetical Model• Haff et al. (2003) presented first
hypothetical model in scientific literature
• Later suggested inclusion 15-30 second rest would allow partial replenishment of PCr
• Debate on the cause of fatigue still exists
• Current theories all suggest inclusion of 15-30 seconds rest would enhance the ability to maintain both
• Force• Velocity

Inter-Repetition, Intra-Set, and Inter-Set Rest • Inter-set rest
• Rest between sets
• Inter-repetition rest (IRR)• Rest between repetitions within a given set
• Intra-set rest (ISR)• Rest between groups (clusters) of repetitions within a given set

Cluster Sets (CLU)Set which contains rest between the
individual repetitions (IRR) or groups of repetitions (ISR) contained within a set

PAST STUDIES
Acute Studies Suggested
•We could do more•We would be able
to generate greater power
•We could get stronger
Long Term Training Suggested
•We were able to do more
•We were less strong •We weren’t as
powerful

The Disconnect• Strength training
• ≥ 85% 1RM• EMG activity increases
linearly • Size principle
• Power training• Optimal load
• Load which optimizes power output
• 80% 1RM power clean• 40 – 60% 1RM bench
press• 50 – 70% 1RM back
squat

IN THE BEGINNING……• Resistance trained men (> 2 y)• 12 week periodized resistance training
program designed to elicit hypertrophy
• All exercises, exercise order, intensity, and volume were consistent between groups
• Critical to design as others have shown alterations in these variables to affect outcome
• Dietary intake, body composition, strength and power of upper and lower body musculature was measured at baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weeks
• Muscle biopsies for MHC were obtained at baseline (pre) and after 12 weeks of training (post)
THE PROGRAM
EQUATED TOTAL VOLUME LOAD PRODUCED SIMILAR LEAN MASS GAINS
AS BIG AS, STRONGER, FASTERWhen appropriately used, cluster sets superior
BUT WHY?No difference in myosin heavy chain composition following 12-week training
WHAT IS DRIVING THE GREATER POWER OUTPUT?WHAT IS DRIVING THE GREATER STENGTH GAIN?IS GREATER LOAD POSSIBLE?DO CHANGES IN FORCE AND VELOCITY CONTRIBUTE EQUALLY?WHAT IS CONTRIBUTING TO SIMILAR GAINS IN LEAN MASS?ARE THERE TRAINING AGE DIFFERENCES?

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS• Resistance trained men (back squat
>1.5 body mass)
• Randomized
• Traditional (4 X 10) and
Cluster (4 X [2 X 5]) @ (~90%10RM)
• Infusion + biopsy
ALTERED MOVEMENT MECHANICS
POOR MOVEMENT PATTERNS
Movement Mechanics• Resistance trained men (back squat
>1.5 body mass)• Randomized• Traditional and Cluster (80%)• Back squat performed on bipedal force
platform (FP; AMTI, Watertown, MA) with retroreflective markers placed on the right and left ends of the barbell and thirty-three markers placed on the subject
• Kinetic and kinematic data• Hypotheses:
• Clusters will attenuate performance decrements (force, velocity, power)
• Clusters will attenuate altered movement mechanics
• Altered movement mechanics will be correlated with performance outcomes (force, velocity, power)
BiofeedbackVBT more accommodating to the daily fluctuations in muscle performance experienced by athletes
Mitigate against unwanted breakdown in movement patterns
Biofeedback considered a primary component of neuromuscular training (NMT)
Standard NMT utilizes verbal feedback
Internal Focus – less transfer of skill for complex movements required during sport
