Although last season was one of the best of Moses’s career, he battled through an adductor injury that visibly hobbled him at times.
Moses said the key is to stretch and activate “other areas” of the hip to hold more of his weight, “because obviously my adductor is not functioning the way it should be.”
This ten-move circuit, which can be done with little or no equipment, not only targets the core in its entirety but also strengthens the glutes, hamstrings, and hip adductors.
Unlike oysters, some clams, and mussels, only a portion of the mollusk—the adductor muscle—is eaten once the shell is open.
Adductor, ad-dukt′ur, n. a muscle which draws one part towards another.
The central or cardinal teeth never exceed two in number in each valve, and the adductor impressions are round and polished.
Branches supply the stifle and the adductor and pectineus muscles.
The body is attached to these valves, round and beneath the adductor, so as to hide it until one of the valves be removed.
There is a short adductor ridge, and a deep narrow pit or cleft for the lateral-depressor muscle.
