Hello, I have been practicing for almost 2 years: - adductor flys (now 100 reps no weight) - adductor pulldown (10 reps with 30 kg) - Hanging leg raise ( 10 reps) - and of course Isometric I admit i didn't follow the step by step procedures , but my ROM is still /°\ .... very far from a decent 160-1...
