What do I call it when I scream?

I can never remember if it's the adductor or the abductor, so I just ask my trainer, which muscles do you use on the giant thigh-master machine?

Thank you thigh-master!!

There's a ton of abductor muscles. You use your adductor muscles to pull your thighs together.

Magically, this morning no lingering pain there. The hamstrings just a bit but entirely loosened up during this morning's workout.

Anyone else considering putting yellow on their "ignore" list?

By the way, the trainer was surprised at the adductor soreness because she said cyclists use those muscles (and she's a spin instructor) to keep their legs aligned straight and close to the top tube. However, once I told her that was my natural position without any effort (unlike the squatty bowlegged stuff you see from a lot of men), she agreed that there would really be no reason to engage those muscles unless I was consciously choosing to actually clamp the top tube.

So, now I don't feel like quite such a weenie.

When someone is abducted, they are taken away.

Adduction is adding, putting together.

Excellent way to remember that.

BTW. What are the appropriate decibel and pitch levels for future screaming?

I want to sure they're comprehensible.

I think grunting is more appropriate when doing a squat.

I hear Tanita makes devices to measure that

Wow, you could hear that over my screams?

When I taught A&P, those were the kinds of things I taught my students to help them remember.

Before I even read this thread, I had such a wonderful answer. But if I used it I'd have to ask Susan and Jeff to ban me......

Tsk, tsk.

I wasn't asking about IT.

Where do you think I got it?

Yeesh, doesn't anyone learn even a couple of Latin phrases any more? Ab initio, ad hominem?
