Pro Tip:
If you want to wind up even 1/5th as jacked as this guy…
DO NOT do the Lat Pull-Down Machine backwards
They put those thigh pads on practically every single Lat Pull-Down ever made FOR A REASON
Adduction Machine Benefits — Why you should NOT be skipping this exercise:
1. Strong Adductors = Reduced risk of groin injury
2. Improve balance/single-leg stability
3. Will improve ability to perform ADLs (climbing stairs, getting in and out of the car, standing up from seated position, etc)
4. Carryover to other lifts (Squat patterns + Hinge patterns)
5. Improves lower body muscular development (No thigh gap)
6. Almost impossible to replicate longterm with other exercises (Copenhagen Planks will be outgrown + place high reliance on ancillary musculature, Cable Adductions do not afford the same stability benefit, etc)
7. Train the Adductors through their full contractile range
If your machine is too light: GYM PIN!!!
