What do you guys think of these two exercises? I tried them this morning, and I can tell I'll be hurting tomorrow from them. Just wondering if anyone does them and what you think of them.

I do them too, but it's only recently (about 1 month ago) so I can't really conclude whether did it help much. However, it's alot harder to do than expected, and I feel special for being the only guy to perform this exercise in my gym

I gotta be honest with ya....it hadn't crossed my mind to try them until I read gorpo's article on the IM home page.
I work my adductors and abductors at every leg workout. Isolating these muscles will serve to make you stronger in the big lifts like squats, deadlifts, leg presses, etc, as they are often "weak links" in those exercises. For those who have low bodyfat levels, developing these muscles is something that can be visually appreciated when flexing your legs!
Work these muscles with a medium rep range of about 10-15 reps.

Like gopro said.They help the compound leg movements.I've heard from a couple of strength coaches that if your knees turn in during the concentric portion of squats,deads or leg presses, that this indicates a weakness in the adductor muscles.If so, these exercises could be viewed as "preventative maintenance" for leg work.
Yeah Skyliner...we rock!
My groins are so sore right now, I can barely lift my legs to walk. 
We just got the equipt. at the gym to do them. I reckon I'll give it a shot on Wed. to see if I can be in as much pain as the rest of you.

LOL at Baboon. Been there man, been there.
If you would like, I'd be happy to transfer the pain out of my body and into yours.
Damn, I did these exercises on Saturday, and I'm still hurtin' today. (good pain though!)
No thanks, I have enough of my own to contend with, thanks for the offer though. I always get sore two days after a workout. Still don't understand the posts that ask if you should be sore in order to get benefit from a workout, I'm almost always a little sore!
