FT Questions....

Adductors would fall under the category of "Thigh" and are explicitly written into FT. (Check the Overview sheets - they are done on Loading set days as a DC style RP set, or single straight set on Tier I.) If someone were absolutely lacking in adductors, they could be trained directly elsewhere, but with GREAT care adductors can easily get tweaked / develop tendonitis which can linger for quite a long time and interfere with other leg training. (Better would be to focus compound leg exercises on those with a wide stance that engages the adductors heavily.)

Hi Scott, thanks for the info on the adductors. Those are very helpful considerations and I will be using that info, but there was a misunderstanding because of the similar spelling. I was asking about the abductor machine. The machine that works the glutes, with the pads on the outside of the thigh. Sometimes they call it the "Outer Thigh" machine but I don't know if it hits enough thigh to be in the Thigh category of FT. Which category in the template would you consider it to fall into?
