BASE MOVEMENT · HOW TO DO IT

Seated Adductor Machine

Start lighter and use less range than you think you need. The rep should stay smooth from beginning to end.

  1. 01
    Set up

    Sit fully back on the machine and set the pads so the thighs begin apart in a comfortable stretch.

  2. 02
    Move

    Keep the pelvis still as you bring the knees toward each other against the pads.

  3. 03
    Finish

    Pause when the pads meet, then allow the legs to open slowly without bouncing into the end range.

ADDUCTORS & GROIN / 37

Short rangeShort range

Seated Adductor Machine

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 10–20

Bring the thighs toward the midline and finish with the adductors shortened.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The machine gives the adductors direct, measurable loading and lets the starting width expand only as far as the athlete can control.
