Cluster Sets With 5–20 Second Mini-Rests

Break one working set into mini-bursts with very brief rests of about 5 to 20 seconds between them, rather than doing all reps straight through. A common approach is to use a weight you could normally lift for around 12 reps to failure, then pause briefly and continue until the target volume is completed. This can let you accumulate more high-quality reps with less fatigue than a continuous all-out set.
