Adductor flies

[AB1985]

Hello everyone,

I had a couple quick questions about adductor flies I hope you can help me with. I have my splits. The two front come easily, in a minute or so I am on the ground. The middle splits take quite a bit of warming up and I get a little sore after. I thought I would work more on my adductor flies.

1) I weigh 185 lbs, what should be my goal in terms of reps and weight? Right now I lift 25 lbs with each leg for two series of 30 reps.

2) What is the best product on the market to put heavy weights on my ankles/feet? So far I have been stacking ankle weights but it seems 25lbs is the best that I can do with that method.

Thank you in advance!

1) The goal resistance and reps depend on your purpose, i.e., how much strength do you need in what exercise. If you do 30 reps easily with a given weight, then you likely can do 150% or more of that weight at a lower number of reps. If you watched Secrets of Stretching, you should understand what I mean.

2) Iron boots. Used to be made by Ivanko Barbell Company and by York Barbell. Ivanko Iron Boots are sold at https://www.wwfitness.com/ivanko-4.html. If out of stock at wwfitness.com, then search eBay.com.
