the other thing that I've really migrated to over the past decade is I've become very obsessed with with all of these muscles in particular those uh hip adductors is the importance of training them not just in concentric phase but also eccentrically so there are these exercises we do in in a training uh I don't know for lack of better word philosophy Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization DNS there's a position called DNS Stars just doing it this morning so I'm doing this stuff most days and you're laying on your side so if I'm on my right side you know my right elbow is down it's sort of like a plank but you're on the knee and your hips are up and you're extending yourself forward as you're putting the hip back so you are eccentrically loading the adductor as you go back and then you're concentrically loading it as you bring yourself back up now for anybody who's done this and we've demonstrated these things in other exercise videos I mean five reps of this slowly you feel like someone is jamming an ice pick into those muscles it is remarkable how difficult it is but you don't need to do a lot I mean right just doing a little bit of that stuff every day right does so much in terms of lower body maintenance
