Seated Hip Abductor

A plate-loaded seated hip abductor built to isolate the glute medius and outer hip muscles — the area that controls hip stability and shapes the side glute. The trainee sits with back fully supported against the vertical pad, places the knees against the side pads, and presses the legs outward against the resistance through a clean isolated range. The supported seated position removes lower-body cheating and forces strict glute-medius activation; the side hand grips lock the upper body in place under load. Plate horns make loading fast and balanced. Built for facilities that want a dedicated outer-glute station — essential for athletic hip stability, balanced glute development, and any client building lateral hip strength.
