"Thanks for your input! I totally understand where you're coming from, and for those looking to build strength or muscle mass, focusing on the 6-15 rep range and hitting failure is definitely effective. However, my personal goal is to achieve toned legs, especially in the thighs, without adding too much bulk. That’s why I opt for 20-50 reps with 110 lbs. This higher rep range helps with muscle endurance and definition while maintaining focus on glute engagement. It allows me to shape and tone without pushing for maximum hypertrophy. Plus, I realize that the abductor machine isn’t the most effective for building muscle mass or strength. Exercises like barbell hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts (RDLs), and other free-weight movements create better tension and produce more significant strength and muscle growth compared to machines. So, depending on someone’s goals, they can adjust their reps and weight-or even incorporate more free-weight exercises for better results in strength or muscle mass. It’s all about finding what works best for your body and goals!"😊
