Question about adductor flys

Post by JohnyZ »

Well I've been doing adductor flys for a long time. I've added weight twice, and I managed to reach one hundreed reps each time. Mr.Kurz in his book and video states that after doing one hundreed reps for 4 weeks one should add more weight and do 2-3 series of 30 reps. I'm not sure if I understood this properly. I am asking for information on adductor flies. Could anybody tell me how many adductor flies I should do and how long, to be ready for isometric stretching?

And what about the speed of movements. Should I do this exercise slow, or fast? Maybe stretch a bit, and then slowly raise my legs?

Haven't got the book in front of me at the moment but i thought it said in Stretching Scientifically that dynamic strength exercises can be performed in 2-3 sets of 30 reps or 1 set of 100-200 reps.

I think it's whatever you feel comfortable with.You could add weight and perform 2-3 sets and decrease the rest period between sets each workout until you can perform 100 reps without stopping.This can be done each time you increase the weight.

As for speed:-i would say neither fast or slow,just a comfortable speed trying to achieve maximum range of motion.
