Cluster training is a great way to get stronger for rugby. We used it heavily in our Stronger for Rugby programme with awesome results. Want to know what it is and how to use it watch the video below and learn to get stronger one rep at a time!
Rugby Strength Training: Cluster Training
Cluster training is very effective but also very demanding so try and use it for a couple of weeks when quick strength gains are needed and then revolve to another less stressful training technique. It is best used with your big compound lifts and good to use building up to strength testing as it helps you practice racking and unracking the bar for heavy single efforts.
