Muscles Targeted:

The abductor machine targets your upper glute muscles and can be used to isolate your glute medius.

Form:

It isn’t necessary but I would recommend leaning forward while performing this exercise. Sitting up or leaning back may target different areas of the glute but leaning forward makes the lift significantly easier to load. Make sure not to let the thigh come off the pad at the end of the movement.

Rep Ranges:

I use this exercise as my heavier abduction exercise because of this, and when looking for higher rep ranges prefer booty bands.
