Well the only thing I can think of you can do is to take a more narrow stance on squats, meaning you won't be able to go as deep. Single leg options will be worse in terms of adductor activity. A narrower stance will have less adductor in it. But that doesn't mean it will have no adductor so....

Deads could well irritate it too.

I see one little injury after another popping up on SS. I'm sure people will say it all stems from bad form but I think it just goes to prove what I've said about the squat (and anything) before. You will walk into a strength program with imbalances and compensations patterns. I don't care if you're only 17 you're going to have SOME little distortion that's been brewing since after puberty....

The body is good at compensating for weaknesses. If a muscle that is needed is weak and you have a heavy weight on your back the body will simply turn to an assistor to get the job done thus causing that muscle to take on more than it's share of the work and overtime you have things like this happening. People that think the squat is a cure all for everything are way off base. And people that think these types of injuries are "inevitable" are way off base too.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
