what do guys think of hip abductors? Good for bulking up?

not directly but doing hip work will strengthen your squat. if your knees come in during a squat then you need hip work anyway.

do one set each of the abductor/adductor on leg day, 25-30 reps. nothing heavy.

knees in on a squat are weak adductors

Knees moving together during the squat is usually caused by weak bicep femoris (specific muscle in hamstring group).

Doing leg curls with toes pointed and angled slightly ******ds will isolate bicep femoris and strengthen in.

whats that word that was blanked out???

out wards

Oh I didn't see that.

Toes pointed and angled slightly out-wards is how you can isolate bicep femoris. Strengething this muscle will prevent 'knock knees' when squatting.
