Dragon Leg Raises
Dragon Leg Raises are an advanced exercise that strengthens the adductors while challenging flexibility and lower-body strength. It combines mobility, strength, and control through the full range of motion. As an ideal preparation for Dragon Squats, it helps address deficits in adductor strength, which often make mastering this skill more difficult.
