Thigh Abductor

Glutes · Machine

How to do it

Seated with the pads outside your thighs. Push your legs apart against the resistance and hold for a beat; close slowly. Leaning the torso forward brings in more gluteus maximus; sitting upright, more gluteus medius. You feel the side of the hip. Do not let the weight slam your legs closed.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
