Cable Hip Abduction
Trains glutes first, with real work landing on core.
Muscle contribution per set
These are the weights Heatwayve's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.
Tempo
Slow tempo keeps glute med/min under constant tension; minimises momentum common in standing abduction.
Stand tall, slight hinge if needed; lead with heel.

How Heatwayve progresses it
Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps. Isolation work is where the honest-volume ledger pays off — compounds alone don't cover it.
Knowing the numbers is one thing; hitting them for fifty weeks is another. Open Heatwayve — it prescribes the weight, holds you to the tempo, and runs this arithmetic on every set you log so the week actually adds up.
