Adductors Function in Squats:
Hello there,
I've been going over your book starting strength for the past couple of days. Now there is a slight confusion I've encountered that if you could elaborate on it will be really helpful.
On page 48, you talk about the adductor muscles and you mention that they act (other than adduction) as extensors. But any anatomy book I've checked before says that these muscles are adductors and hip FLEXORS with the exception of the adductor magnus which has a hip extension function.
Specifically this sentence is what I don't understand: "..., So the concentric action of the adductor muscles thus produce hip extension..."
I'm sorry if this seems like an irrelevant detail that wont really affect executing the lifts but I'm just interested in knowing your point on the matter.
Thanks
Best regards,
Ben
