FUEL Series 30 Min Cluster Sets Upper Body Workout | Day 22
One set of a compound exercise, or isolation towards the end…followed by 3 mini-sets of a complementary exercise to really turn up the intensity! The need for focus, moving with intention and control heightens as we progress!
A flow hitting the back, biceps and shoulders pop up throughout the workout too which I know you will enjoy!
The timer will be varied during it comprising of longer sets and cluster sets! There will be the main exercise with a duration of 60 seconds followed by 20 seconds of rest before moving into a ‘complimentary’ movement in cluster format with the timer being 20 seconds of work with 20 seconds rest in between and performing this cluster set 3 times in total!
There is a staple within today’s session and it will appear 3 times throughout the session. It will be 60 seconds in duration each time it appears! It is a flow sequence and for this, I will be using my ‘medium’ weights today which are 2 x 8kg for your reference!

I loved the staple in this session! The combination of the smooth transitions, aiming for that precise movement and controlling that curl on the negative is exactly why I love a flow!
I am sure you will agree with me that the first 20 seconds of the cluster sets feel so much easier than the last…the intensity definitely grows!
There isn’t a muscle not challenged today…and I hope you feel very proud after this session!
