Hip Adduction (Cable)
How to do it
Attach an ankle cuff to the leg farthest from a low pulley and stand side-on while holding a stable support. Draw the cuffed leg inward and across the midline without rotating the pelvis, pause while squeezing the inner thigh, then return slowly to the start. Complete the set and repeat on the other side.
Setup
Attach a secure ankle cuff to the leg farthest from the low pulley and stand side-on holding a stable support. Brace the planted foot, keep the pelvis level, torso tall, and working toes forward.
Where you should feel it
Along the inner thigh of the working leg, with the core, outer hip, and planted calf maintaining balance. Avoid twisting the pelvis or swinging the leg.
When to use it
Use for unilateral inner-thigh strength, side-to-side assessment, and controlled accessory volume. Perform 10-20 reps per side.
