Cable Hip Adduction

Setup

1. 01Set the pulley to the lowest position.
2. 02Attach an ankle cuff to the leg nearest the stack.
3. 03Stand side-on to the machine and step out for tension.
4. 04Hold the frame or handle for balance.

Execution

1. 01Sweep the cuffed leg across the body past the standing leg.
2. 02Squeeze the inner thigh at the end of the sweep.
3. 03Return the leg slowly against the cable's pull.
4. 04Complete all reps, then switch sides.

Checkpoints

• -The torso stays upright and still throughout.
• -The working leg stays straight with a soft knee.
• -The motion comes from the hip, not the trunk.
• -The stack stays under tension between reps.

Common mistakes

• -Leaning the torso sideways to swing the weight.
• -Using momentum instead of a controlled sweep.
• -Bending the knee and shortening the lever.
• -Letting the stack slam down between reps.
