💥COPENHAGEN ADDUCTION 90/90 HOLD💥
.
One of my fav warm-up/activation accessories
.
WHY? A lot of us spend time activating our glutes (ABDUCTORS) but forget to incorporate accessory work for our ADDUCTORS (inner thigh/“groin muscles”).
.
These are great for:
-LOWER EXTREMITY ACTIVATION - for squat or leg heavy days
-CORE & HIP STABILITY - think side plank but way spicier 🔥🔥
-IMPROVED SQUAT/OLY PERFORMANCE - ever noticed how very advanced Olympic Lifters exhibit some dynamic knee valgus (knees move inward) during the standing up phase of a squatting movement? No, this isn’t necessarily related to hip weakness. Engaging our ADDUCTORS (specifically adductor magnus) can actually be an indicator of proper squatting mechanics (engaging quads, hamstrings, adductors, and glutes).
.
Key Points:
-May need to start at lower height - THESE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CRAMPING 😵
-Keep body in line as much as possible
-Active core throughout
-Breathe throughout
-Can do with a partner instead 😊
