Cellular
Traditional-set structure (TRAD) showed greater muscle thickness of the proximal pectoralis major (g = -0.34) compared to cluster-set structure (CLUS).
Traditional-set structures may lead to better hypertrophy outcomes in the proximal pectoralis major.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
TRAD demonstrated a significantly greater velocity loss magnitude (g = 1.50) and muscle thickness of the proximal pectoralis major (g = -0.34) compared with CLUS.
