Adductor Rockback
A simple drill to improve groin mobility while reinforcing hip control.
The adductors play a major role in hip stability, lateral movement, and deep squat mechanics. If they’re stiff or weak, you’ll often feel restriction through the hips and groin.
The rockback helps you explore that range in a controlled way.
Cues:
• Keep the working leg straight with the foot planted
• Maintain a neutral spine as you rock back
• Move slowly and control the end range
• On alternating reps, rotate the hip externally to explore a Cossack-style position
Benefits:
• Improves adductor mobility
• Builds control in deep hip positions
• Prepares the hips for squatting and lateral movement
• Helps reduce groin stiffness
Simple drill. Big payoff for healthier hips
