Default Adductor Magnus

I notice in the days after doing deadlifts (of all sorts) that my adductor magnus muscle gets quite sore. I know the magnus is a synergist with the glutes and hamstrings, but I fear my adductor magnus tries to do more of the lifting than it should -- and it is quite tight.

In addition to glute activation exercises (and hip flexor stretches) before deadlifting, should I also statically stretch the adductor magnus to turn it off a bit. If so, what stretches would you recommend? If not, what can I do in the off times to undue some of the tightness in that muscle.

Thanks!

Best,
