Hip Adductor Muscles
This set up will place the focus on the groin/hip adductors over a large range of motion.
- Lower the back of the leg press to the lowest position
- Place the feet at a 45 degree angle, legs wide at a 45 degree angle at the bottom of the leg press
- Adjust as needed, there should be no pain in the knees or lower back
- Push the lower back into the pad
- Press the sled up and unrack both sides
- Lower the sled 25%, hold your breath, brace your abdominals
- Lower the sled over 2-3 seconds
- Do not let the hips roll up off the seat
- Use comfort as a guide, lower the sled until your knees come close to your chest
- Without pause, push through your heels and midfoot and not your toes
- As you come to the last 25% of the ROM, exhale but still brace the abs
- Do not lock the knees out at the top
