Rest 1-2 minutes.\u00a0 Do this for 3-4 total sets.<\/p>\n The reason CS works so well is because you are using a weight that you could only do 4 reps with, but now you are getting 12 reps with heavy weight (thanks to the 10 second intra set rest periods).\u00a0 This is a game changer for strength and mass gains.<\/p>\n For the purpose of this article I’m going to show you how you can get stronger on your dead-lift with this 6 week phase but you can do it with benching or squatting.<\/p>\n Clean Grip Dead-Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n Sets<\/strong><\/span> 4<\/p>\n Reps<\/strong><\/span> 4+4+4<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/span> 3-4 minutes<\/p>\n Clean Grip Dead-Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n Sets<\/strong><\/span> 4<\/p>\n Reps<\/strong><\/span> 4+3+3* (* 10 second eccentric overload rep after main work sets)<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/span> 3-4 minutes<\/p>\n Clean Grip Dead-Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n Sets<\/strong><\/span> 4<\/p>\n Reps<\/strong><\/span> 3+3+3<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/span> 3-4 minutes<\/p>\n Clean Grip Dead-Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n Sets<\/strong><\/span> 5<\/p>\n Reps<\/strong><\/span> 3+2+2* (*8 second eccentric overload rep after main work sets)<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/span> 3-4 minutes<\/p>\n Clean Grip Dead-Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n Sets<\/strong><\/span> 2<\/p>\n Reps<\/strong><\/span> 2+2+1+1<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/span> 3-4 minutes<\/p>\n Clean Grip Dead-Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n Sets<\/strong><\/span> 6<\/p>\n Reps<\/strong><\/span> 2+2+1+1* (*6 second eccentric overload rep after main work sets)<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/span> 3-4 minutes<\/p>\n As you probably know or at some point you\u2019ve been told that the best way to build muscle is by training each muscle group a different day of the week\u2026<\/p>\n Maybe you\u2019ve tried the double-up split where you train upper body one day, then lower body the next.<\/p>\n However, there\u2019s something you need to know\u2026.<\/p>\n These workouts are silently chipping away at your testosterone levels and causing you to leave massive muscle building results on the table…<\/p>\n Yes you read that right…<\/p>\n But don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be this way. Because…<\/p>\n Believe it or not, there’s one type of muscle building routine that\u2019s BEST for your male hormones and packing on some serious size at the exact same time.<\/p>\n And to prove it, here is..<\/p>\n => The Mother Of All Muscle Building Routines<\/a><\/b><\/p>\nEnter:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Cluster Sets<\/h3>\n
