Take a lift like lateral raises for example.


This is a lift that in all honesty I never really expect to see much strength progression on. It isnt a compound and I'll probably never see the weight go up much over time.

So lets say for example there are 3 different versions of a lateral raise (i'm sure there are more but for the sake of this conversation lets say 3).

1) Cable Lateral
2) DB Lateral
3) Machine Lateral (the chicken wing movement)

Since you probably wont see very much forward progress over time on this type of lift would it be better to do 3 sets of Cables (a single type)? or would it be better to do 1 set of all 3?


Just curious what you all think.
