adductor builder sweeping one leg across your body against a cable
the cable pulls the leg away from your midline, so the adductors are loaded at
their longest and stay loaded the whole way in
one leg at a time, so each side gets the range it actually has rather than
splitting a machine's fixed path
Execution
Attach an ankle strap to a low pulley and fasten it to the leg nearest the
stack. Stand side on, far enough away that the cable is under tension, and hold
a support.
let the working leg travel out away from your midline into the stretch
sweep it back across your body, leading with the inside of your thigh
keep the leg straight rather than bending at the knee
let the cable draw it back out under control
finish all reps on one side before switching
Focus on controlling the negative all the way into the stretch.
