Why does it seem common for people to add isolation exercises for the quads, hamstrings, and calves but not as common to add isolation exercises for the adductors?
I have a very good specialization exercise for the adductors. I got the exercise from Jeff King after a seminar he put on in town some time after his Mr America win.
Though it is not a pure isolation exercise, it is a fantastic compound exercise. It is easiest performed on a leg press machine. You need to be able to place your feet on the leg press where your toes are 180 degrees apart from each other. When the weight descends you need to try to keep your knees pointing the same direction as your toes. It will feel like you are doing a split.
Be sure to start this with very light weight to protect pulling a groin muscle. It might take a awhile to achieve the flexibility to get the maximum benefit.
It substantially improved my inner thigh development. I donāt know if it was this exercise or not, but about a year after doing this exercise my sartorius began to become visible when posing my thigh (opening my leg and trying to raise it, but not allowing my foot from leaving the floor.
