Avoiding innner thigh work

Hello All,

Just wondering what exercises work the top of thighs between the legs? Reason I ask is i want to cut back on them for now. I currently squat along with leg extensions and leg curls and some straight leg deadlifts.

I am getting to the point they are constantly rubbing and starting to change my walking stance. I wouldnt mind this if the rest of my legs matched this mass but they don't. Some of this will no doubt be fat so that will stay until cut next year but want to get some balance in my legs.

I am thinking of squatting lighter then pushing out heavy half squats to hammer teardrop and front of quads.

Any help much appreciated as always

Cheers

Colin

Re: Avoiding innner thigh work

Its simply the shape of your legs, I would guess. In truth there's very little that can be done to "shape" your underlying structure.

I have got similar legs to you by the sound of it. No amount of direct work could get my teardrop and sweep to develop but my upper quads, hams and glutes just got bigger and bigger.

The obvious solution is to become a powerlifter!

Re: Avoiding innner thigh work

bah you dont want your legs to look like twigs from the front. Abductors are realy important for support in loads of compound exersises (and most importantly the squat). If you want masive legs you need abductors. I used to get pain in my knees - when i started doing abductor exersises after 4 weeks I didnt get pain in my knees anymore & my squat sudenly started to go up. It was like newbie gains again.

See its a muscle group you hardly ever use, so it has huge potential for growth. its about the same size as bicep so imagine a bodypart the size of your biceps that you never trained.

People say abductor machine is a womans exersise but thats very closed minded thinking.

Lol I meen adductor... damit i alway mix them up..

Where a antomy nerd when you need one.

Re: Avoiding innner thigh work

Thnaks for all the info Wogi.

Basically I will carry on then and not try and avoid this muscle. It seems to grow on it's own though so won't be working the adductor(see i learned something today already)

Got legs tonight so will blast them as normal.

Cheers,

Colin

Re: Avoiding innner thigh work

Wogi...

Easy way to remember

ABduction is movement away from the centre line of the body.

ABduction= abduct. When you abduct someone / something you take them / it away.
ADduction is movement towards.

Helps me.

Re: Avoiding innner thigh work

Just focus on making the other parts of the leg bigger, lets say for example the tear drop. Too make this bigger you have two options, pre or post exaust, using either leg extensions or the peterson step up or split squats. Focus on the weak parts and the leg will balance it self.

Re: Avoiding innner thigh work

I assure you Colin, when you start cutting you will look back at this thread and hope you decided to avoid trying to leave them out of your training

Men hold fat in this area and trust me when you are down to 5-6% BF you will see what i mean, its just something when the summer comes that becomes an issue when BF is medium/high
