Machine Hip Abduction vs Band Hip Abduction
FR : Machine Hip Abduction ↔ Abduction des hanches aux élastiques
Swapping Machine Hip Abduction (Machine) for Band Hip Abduction (Bodyweight) retains 100% overlap; expect alternative path. Compare exact 17-muscle fractional recruitment before swapping equipment mid-session.
Weighted Muscle Overlap
100%
Sum of min(coef A, coef B)
Primary Equipment
Machine → Bodyweight
Same rep/load measurement family
Load Transfer Protocol
Target RPE 7.5–8.5
Never assume 1:1 kg across leverages
Side-by-Side 17-Muscle Recruitment Delta
How primary mover (1.0× set) and synergist (0.5× set) allocation changes when swapping Machine Hip Abduction for Band Hip Abduction.
| Muscle Group | Machine Hip Abduction | Band Hip Abduction | Leverage Shift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hip Abductors | Primary (60%) | Primary (60%) | Matched |
| Glutes (Gluteus Maximus / Medius) | Primary (40%) | Primary (40%) | Matched |
Load & Volume Conversion: Machine Hip Abduction → Band Hip Abduction
Worked weight heuristic: a 115 kg set on Machine Hip Abduction (Machine) maps roughly to 70 kg on Band Hip Abduction (Bodyweight; 2.5 kg jumps, curve: alternative curve). Calibrate set 1 at RPE 8 so e1RM history for Machine Hip Abduction remains unskewed. Zero anatomical muscles are dropped between Machine Hip Abduction and Band Hip Abduction; 1:1 weekly set volume carries straight across.
