Throughout my career in strength and conditioning, clusters have been a mainstay in my programming both for myself and for my athletes. A tried-and-true method to increase total body strength and improve the rate of force production, this program is designed to do just that. Whether you want to break through that plateau you’ve been experiencing, or you want to simply experiment with a different type of training, this program will give you everything you need to drive up your numbers and come out on the other side of this program stronger than you were when you started it.

What equipment you will need
- Squat rack (barbell, plates, etc.)
- Dumbbells
- An adjustable bench
- Plyo boxes (recommended, but not necessary)
Amount of time you will need for each workout
- 60-75 minutes
Longevity of program
- This is a 12-week program that is separated into four 3-week blocks. Each week consists of three full-body workouts.
Level of difficulty
- Intermediate (at least 1 year of consistent strength training experience is recommended)
Recommended use of program (in-season, off-season, etc.)
- For current competitive athletes, this would be a great off-season option. Due to potentially high amounts of neural fatigue that this program may cause, it is not recommended to complete these programs during a competitive season.
- For those who work out consistently to lead a healthy lifestyle, this program is a great option to build total body strength. Volume starts high with lower-intensity weight and steadily progresses to lower volume with higher-intensity weight.
