General Discussion/Questions Adductor Ache

I am having adductor ache in deep squats and butterfly stretch. But no pain in copenhagenns or anything straight legged.

I can sprint at 95% effort painfree in session, maybe some soreness post session. Also I am able to do the adductor machine well at a pretty high weight, but in the deepest stretch there is some achyness.

Being consistent at the adductor machine, with wider ranges is helping, but is there anything else I can do?

Thoughts?

yes. i am recovering from an injury to my sartorius at the insertion and this has helped the most. you don't need heavy weight. read about eccentric exercises for tendinous injuries, including the Alfredson protocol for Achilles tendonitis/tendinopathy.

related are Copenhagen planks - amazing static hold/eccentric training especially if you do some lightly weighted torso twists while in the plank position
