Is he shitting? I've never seen this contraption before
Unironically a good exercise for stabilizer muscles in your legs
I can imagine they’d help a lot with hip drive. I did 170 lbs for sets of like 20-25 repping partials after failure and I am crippled today
They also help in a sports context to prevent injury when quickly changing directions, as that part of your leg gets used heavily for that.
My Mauy Thai coach said they’re great for building power so I tried them out, gonna ease into it from now on
> Tried it twice, 15 years apart
> worst cramping sourness every time
Never again
you aint felt delt doms
I love doing this workouts thinking about how many disobedient bucks I’m going to destroy with my thick muscular white legs. Any fit bros feel me? Can I get a hell yea?
>why yes I do want to isolate a muscle with zero impact on aesthetics or functionality so my thighs can chafe real good
Your legs chafe because you are fat, not because your muscles are too big.
My legs actually don't chafe because I don't do this stupid meme exercise for fat middle aged housewives.
I’m impressed at how dumb you are.
You’re going to blow your knees out and I’m going to be paid to fix it.
I’ll also tell you the same thing you heard in this thread.
See you in 7 years 🙂
What kind of lifts can you do for knees if you only have an Olympic bar, rack, and bench? I don’t have a machine to tighten my vageen.
t. shitty home gym
I used to chafe when I was a skinny little dyel 10% bf skellington. So it’s possible to chafe when thin.
I quit grooming my body hair and got well fitted boxer briefs and the issue went away, even with my 27 inch quads (6’ btw so they aren’t disproportionate) there isn’t an issue. I think grooming of body hair causes chafing, I’ve just gone full Austin Powers since then.
(me)
I was a cardiolet at the time in case you were wondering. It was during HS, I filled in a lot at about 21. I don’t think I fully physically matured until 25, but I was jacked af at 25 putting up 3 pl8s and shit, so don’t give up young bros. Some of us are just late bloomers, and you’ll look young longer too.
Natty too.
>zero impact on aesthetics
yes
>or functionality
moron
>zero impact on aesthetics
second largest thigh muscle, only the quads are bigger
>functionality
they're extremely important for any sort of athleticism, even if you're just squatting this helps since the adductors are vital to a strong squat and training them prevents you from getting adductor tweaks as well
At least do heavy cossack squats if you don't want to use a machine
Adductor strength is highly correlated with sprinting performance. More than the quads. The adductors are also the primary hip extensors in the hole for squats.
Yeah, it's one of the muscles that unless you practice some specific sports, it goes unused for months.
I had to quit the gym for six months and when I hopped on that mfer, it was like the first time I used them.
yeah and when they're weak and stiff they're also more prone to injury when you do need to use them. like if you suddenly need to move sideways to catch something
This, zoomers just like that lift because it makes them feel like a real girl.
+ looks gay
moron lift
girls do it to make their pussy tight for chad
really good exercise, you should also do the opposite one where you push the other direction.
This is good for pubalgie, and to prevent injuries in sports where you do a lot of direction changing, like football. I don't know if it serves other purpose, maybe help with bjj where you do locks with your legs.
I really wanted this machine to work but it just doesnt. Havent seen a version of this that had a big enough stack to make it feel hard. I occasionally get doms from squatting and running but never this idk.
How many reps? Surely you'd get a burn from 20 reps with a really slow eccentric at 70kg
Will these help me with my squat? struggling at 2 plates
Yes.
thanks broda. What are they called btw?
Adductors
Nta, but it helped mine. Also take a band and put it around your legs and do sidesteps. See gif. Really helped me.
damn, based. how many sets or steps did you do
I would usually do 5/6 one way and then that many back. Being very controlled with it. One of my biggest problems was my knees bowing in though and that was a sure sign of weak abductors.
Those are abductors. Not the same muscle.
I’m doing these to strengthen my hip adductors so my right thigh doesn’t feel sore when I try to do squats. If I do a couple sets on this machine I don’t get doms but I get a legitimate bolt of pain when I step down on my right leg
You might have an adductor strain
This is what chicks at my gym use to practice spreading their legs for bbc
If you're a man and do this excercise you're a turbo-homo.
Says who? It's literally just adductor isolation, same thing as isolating your bicep or your calves
Ok gayboy
Are these gay muscles or something? Bro it's just the muscles that adduct your thigh, they aren't magically gay because your favorite youtuber (sorry I mean tiktoker) said so
Really good as a warm-up/pre exhaustion for a high volume leg work session. For whatever reason, probably terminal couch sitting, most people aren't great at manually activating them without some forced work.
These help with boners?
Train them hard, wait 1-2 days for max DOMS and try jerking off. Feels amazing.
did this for the first time 4 days ago and still have nightmarish DOMs and was literally just thinking about this as I opened IST
Those goddamn stabilizers. You get similar nightmare DOMS from your first set of bulgarian split squats back from a long break away from them.
Went 2 months or so focusing mainly on front squats and occasional zerchers because my lower back handles these well. Went and did BSS for a simple set of 6, 8, 10, and 12 with a modest 100 lbs. (~12rm at this stage) It's near my old maxes, but not totally there. I used to do 20s with that weight.
Holy frick. Here I am 4 days later and can barely goddamn sit and stand.
Love these. Strong adductors make it so any kind of squat or lunge or leg press, you feel it even more in the quads and glutes because your adductors are now strong enough to not be even close to being a weak point
how do you train these without using this machine?
weighted tailor's pose (at a deficit if you're flexible) or zercher cossack squats
Seated good morning is also good for the adductor magnus specifically (highly relevant for squats), but it doesn't work the adductors as a whole so if that's what you're looking for, it isn't going to cut it
>gives you the worst DOMS you’ve ever experienced
doms are sin, it means that u desecrated ur body with moronation, but if u get doms abducting ur leg it's prolly ur powersharting is lacking in movement patterns, lowbar "squatting" if there is squatting is doing that, lunges, stretching would mitigate that awkward moment when u're ambushed and forced to max out abductor machine
I never did thT shit. Desided to do some isolations for my legs. I could max out the machine for 12 reps. No doms after.
I'm not even huge, just 82kg of lean mass and can squat 3 plates for 1rm.
I just do these and my adductors blew up
this machine makes me understand why babies cry so much. if this is the soreness of using one muscle for the first time, imagine how painful it is to use all of your muscles for the first time
Wtf u mean I barely squat two plates and I max out the adductor machine for 3x10. Not even worth doing it tbh. Maybe a femur length thing?
You aren't engaging the muscles properly or you don't have the pads open wide enough
Ye all those posters are probably dyel that dont squat
Also completely unnecessary if you do squats as they work adductors perfectly well.
