Overview

In this lesson, we explore hip adduction lift offs, an active control drill for the inner hip.

Objective

Understand how to generate force from a stretched adduction position.

What You'll Get

You'll practice initiating movement from the very edge of your adduction range, which reveals the gap between what you can access passively and what you can control actively. This is useful for deepening side splits and asymmetrical poses in your own practice. If you work with others, lift offs help you diagnose and train the active hip control needed for athletic movement and injury resilience.
