Primary muscles: Adductors

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your feet raised towards the ceiling.
  2. Have your partner hold your feet or ankles. Abduct your legs as far as you can. This will be your starting position.
  3. Attempt to squeeze your legs together for 10 or more seconds, while your partner prevents you from doing so.
  4. Now, relax the muscles in your legs as your partner pushes your feet apart, stretching as far as is comfortable for you. Be sure to let your partner know when the stretch is adequate to prevent overstretching or injury.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Adductor/Groin from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Adductors volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
