Isolation

Hip Adduction

Trains core first — focused, direct, nothing hidden in the movement.

Muscle contribution per set

Core1

These are the weights Forge's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.

Tempo

Machine or cable adduction with tempo; slow eccentric maximises adductor stretch and contraction.

Full ROM; avoid using body momentum.

How Forge progresses it

Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps. Isolation work is where the honest-volume ledger pays off — compounds alone don't cover it.

Train with intention. Open Forge — it prescribes the weight, watches the reps, and does this arithmetic for every set you log.
