Hip Abduction - Do you do it?

[medi3val]

You know.. the excercise where you squeeze your legs in and out spread-eagle. Is this any good? Anyone do it?

Only as part of PCT.

Started doing the opposite one - adduction - just 3 weeks ago. Directly after I squat, when my hips and legs are still sort of fried. It's not one of those exercises that's good to pile the weights on, so I keep it at the usual high rep count, and try to maintain good control and time under tension. I don't know how I'll feel about them in the long run, but for now they do a good job of finishing off the strength reserves in my legs and gives me a breather before I move on to other stuff.

hip abduction is great if your knees cave in when under heavy weights. a couple weeks of adding those in and you'll be solid again.

hell yea.
it makes my legs sorer in areas where the "regular" leg exercises just dont realy seem to make sore

 

[medi3val]

Does it make you sore in your "special place?"
