adductor builder bringing the pads together on a machine
the machine holds your torso still and both legs work together, so nothing is
spent steadying yourself and the set can be pushed to failure
the starting width sets how much stretch you get, which makes it the variable
that matters here
Execution
Sit in the adductor machine with your back against the pad and the inside of
your thighs against the pads. Set the starting width so you feel a stretch
before the first rep.
bring the pads together, leading with the inside of your thighs
let them travel back out until you feel the stretch
pause briefly in the stretched position to maximize tension
keep your back against the pad throughout
Set the starting width once and keep it, adding an exercise note when you change
it: a wider start is a longer range and not the same exercise as a narrow one.
