Standing Adductions With Dumbbells

Video Transcript

"In standing adduction with free weight, we're going to be working the inside thigh, working towards the mid line of the body instead of away. We're going to make sure we got a slight bend in the supporting knee. Engaging in our core, shooting our energy through the top of the head and we're going to guide this weight right in resistance to the movement, opposition to the movement. Slight turn out of the foot, so we can engage the inside thigh, big inhale and exhale lift. Now it's not how far I cross over, but how much I engage as I lift up through the top of my head. Because I want to control the movement just with the inside thigh, so it's not a whole lot of momentum, not a big movement, if I'm just trying to target that area. Of course inhale when you release, exhale with the contraction, inhale and exhale with the contraction. You want to find a weight that will help you fatigue that muscle once you've advanced to using weight. And ten to fifteen reps working towards three sets."
