>Should
There is more than 1 way to squat correctly and it depends on your form, high vs low bar, narrow vs wide foot placement, depth, etc. As far as hip, quad, back dominance, you could feel it anywhere and it would still be normal. Even your calves if your knees extend past your toes.
However, feeling it in your adductors means those are holding you back your squat and you should isolate them or add a secondary leg compound that will emphasize them a bit because they aren't a prime mover. You're essentially doing more work to stabilize than you are squatting.
I don't even know if it is adductors exactly.
If you do pic rel stretch, i.e. touch your elbow to the floor in a lunge position, where you feel that stretch in the groin/inner leg is exactly where I feel the soreness.
Yes, they're used to stabilize. Isolate them a little bit every time you do lower body.
>you should isolate them
What's the best way to isolate them if you only have a barbell?

I would say mostly in your wiener
i feel back squat almost everywhere. in my quads, in my glutes, in my lats, sometimes my shoulders and arms.
yah. Enjoy the gainz.
Yeah. I get a lot of adductor doms from squanks.
and if you ever have an adductor injury use the Bill Starr rehab method. (Works great)
I ordered a nice new Texas Power Bar the other night. Can't wait to do some power cleans with it! Other bar is a lil stiffer (Rogue B&R 2.0 bar) and is a great bar too.
power bars feel legitimately awful to clean with because they have zero spin
just noticed anatomy man is holding 115 up with just grip strength
If you're long legged, like me, just stop squatting unless you really like it. I had the same thing. I always squatted to competition depth with shitty ass low bar and always got my adductors sore and ass. Nothing else.
After a while I had huge ass and stick legs. Started doing only hack squat and whatnot, got way better developement for my quads
I'm only 6' but I relate to what you said ...
Then stop doing powerlifting comp style low bar squats to parallel, and start doing high bar in weightlifting shoes going ATG while staying at upright as possible
Adductors are one of the prime movers so that's entirely normal
quads and glutes
I just swapped to Zerchs everything and man my upper back is destroyed but I could feel my legs being worked way more. Zerch is superior to everything
