What is it about?
Weightlifting training increases the strength of shoulder adductors and internal rotators. Therefore, the restoration of a normal concentric abductor/adductor and external/internal rotator strength ratios may reestablish the muscular balance of shoulder complex and prevent its recurrent injuries.

Why is it important?
There is no previous studies have investigated muscle imbalances in RWL. Moreover, this may help physical therapists, strength coaches, and athletic trainers in designing an effective and safe shoulder resistance training.
