Running FT at home ab and adductor work?? - Mr Mac - 03-18-2016
Looking to run fortitude and thinking of using pretty much exclusively my home gym as I have pretty much everything. Only thing I'm slightly stumped on will be ad and abductor work.
I was thinking of single leg low pulley with an ankle strap but other than that cannot really think of anything else. Maybe bands??

Bands looped around power rack frame and your leg (at the knee, and the ankle)
Ankle cuff adductor work with body facing toward, 90˚ from and away from the low pulley line of pull.
(Are you planning on doing a lot of abductor work?...)

I train at home and use bands.

OK, well there is 5 adductor exercises for you, essentially.
Abductors can be worked with cables and bands, of course. (Maybe using some pink ankle cuffs doing the "fire hydrant" movement?.... LOL JUST KIDDING... )

Anything lighter than the pink ones?? I'm not powerlifting.

Ha! Funny! In all seriousness, I did PT on my knee at a facility that made me use bands and my knee was never more sore and irritated. I fortunately have a couple machines at my gym that seem to keep the stress off my knee.

No cuff, but just a think, "Feel the burn!" and even say it out loud with each rep.

LOL - There are a lot of unfortunate stories out there. (So much of PT these days can simply be protocols... without any room for adjustment via patient feedback...
