ImpactModerate impact

The discourse suggests the study influences workout choices and future training strategies, though it’s not considered groundbreaking but still relevant.

Abstract in brief

  • This study compared how dumbbell and cable lateral raises affect the size of the lateral deltoid muscle in people who already have some resistance training experience, finding that both methods produce similar gains in muscle thickness.
  • The researchers used ultrasound to measure muscle changes before and after an eight-week training program and analyzed the data with Bayesian statistics, which provided strong evidence that neither method was significantly better than the other.
  • Overall, the results suggest that both dumbbell and cable lateral raises are equally effective for building the lateral deltoid in trained individuals.]
