Add Abductor Machines

dbv10 Posts: 52 Joined: 2005/01/11	2005/01/27, 05:03 PM My leg routine targets major muscles including a variety of squats, leg presses, lunges, & deadlifts for the most part, with extensions and curls on occassion. My time spent on the adductor and abductor machines is little to none. Am I wrong not to include these?

I thought the post was asking if you should do them or not. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
