    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.

    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.

    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......
