      I really don't see a point to them at all. They are alright for getting warm/loose, but there are much better things you can do for that like stretching and really wide stance squats with light weight (or just the bar).

      These movements don't work the legs, really.

      OP, the adductor machine helped me a lot. Weak adductors was limiting my ROM (and also causing pain).

      Article on the subject:
      http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_...n_by_adduction

      The main part to read:
      What's doing the adducting?

      The adductor group consists of the adductor magnus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, gracilis, and pectineus. Together, the five muscles comprise the vast majority of the medial compartment of the thigh (1). Generally speaking, all of the muscles attach proximally on the pubis and ischium and distally on the linea aspera (posterior shaft) of the femur (2).
      undefined

      While adduction is the primary function of each, the amount of hip flexion present determines whether or not some of the adductors work on the femur as medial or lateral rotators and extensors or flexors (2). As odd as it may sound, the adductors are important as both hip flexors and extensors during the sprinting motion (3,4). Depending on the individual, the shift from flexor to extensor role occurs between 50 and 70 degrees of hip flexion. This phenomenon is possible due to the distal insertion point on the femur. When the hip is extended, the adductors' line of pull is anterior to the hip joint axis, whereas this line of pull is posterior to the axis when the hip is flexed (2).

      Unfortunately, unless you're a horseback rider or breaststroker, the adductors receive little work in "ordinary" human movement (1). To further aggravate the "natural" lack of training, most training splits are geared solely toward hams and quads. Unless you're training with a very wide stance or significant amounts of unilateral exercises, you likely aren't hitting your adductors directly enough to realize their full growth potential. Additionally, while the hamstrings are predominantly fast-twitch in composition, the adductors usually have a greater proportion of slow-twitch fibers (5). As such, if you're partial to the time under tension school of thought, your low-rep hamstring training probably isn't doing much for your adductors (6).

      Stronger hip adductors helped my squats. I can feel the glutes firing stronger with wider stances.

      OP, why do you have to create a similar thread with a thread that was created just 2 days ago and is still active as of now?

      Hip joint muscles aren't leg muscles? Poor glutes. What are they now, core muscles? Stuff's always getting shifted around, lately I've seen people calling the lats part of the 'core' instead of 'back' too. Plus the rear delts/traps seem to shift between back and shoulders.

      Just watch out for all that sand, and you'll be fine.
