Clamshells are overrated. Here’s what often works better 💪🏼 If you want to learn more from me personally about concepts like this to help improvement movement and reduce pain, registration for my next Live Biomechanics Course is now open! Check the link in my bio.

🛑 Stop doing your clamshells like this 🛑 🤔Sure, it could be a great starting point post injury or when you’re just getting back to training, but eventually you will need resistance…plus, it’s not really that functional. 🔑The standing banded wall clamshell instead simultaneously strengthens both hips- one in open chain (moving leg) and one in closed-chain (standing leg). 🔑This means that you will get way more bang for your buck with this exercise & the fact that it’s in standing will translate to other functional activities like walking, running, etc way more than a sidelying clamshell ever will! 😉Trust me on this! 🔑I recommend adding these into your lower body routine 2 x a week & do 2-3 sets of 20-30 reps on each side - these are endurance based muscles and we need to train them as such so lots of reps 👍 Also, make sure to get yourself a sturdy band from @team4kor too & use my code “thephysiofix” to save 10% 😊 Have you tried this variation? If not, try it out & let me know how it goes! 🔥 Happy training!!!! #posteriorchain #glutegains #gainz💪🏼 #lowerbody #supersets #gymroutine #gainsongains #workoutroutines #gainscity

STOP with the clamshells🙅‍♀️‼️ 🔑 Try the standing banded wall clamshell instead. This will simultaneously strengthen BOTH hips. One in open chain (moving leg) and one in closed chain (standing leg) 💰You will get WAY more bang for your buck! And by performing it in standing, you’ll get far better carry over into functional activities such as walking, running, balance, etc… far more than a sidelying clamshell would! ☝️A sidelying clamshell has its time and place, but I normally only incorporate it for early rehab, not functionally based strengthening and stability😉

The clamshell exercise is popular among runners and cyclist for helping build abductor strength, specifically targeting the glute medius which is responsible for external rotation at the hip, providing stability, and generating power in both sports. Unfortunately, a lot of people make the mistake of allowing the hips to roll backwards during the exercise, and using spinal rotation to create movement and momentum rather than isolating the glute medius for the external rotation and abduction of the leg. Here’s how to fix that : ➡️ In clamshell position, bend your knees and bring them forward between 30 and 60° ➡️ with your legs stacked one on top of the other, slightly shifted that top leg forward so that your top knee extends ever so slightly beyond your bottom knee. This will help stack your hips, evenly, if not ever so slightly, rotate your hips towards the ground. ➡️ Keep your legs in this position, and keep your feet together while lifting your leg from the hip. You’ll notice a significantly smaller range of motion when you aren’t using momentum and rolling the hip backwards. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Have you been doing clamshells correctly or did this help fix your form? #corestrength #glutestability #glutemedius #abductorstrength #glutestrength #cyclingstrength #runnerstrength #pelvicfloorstrength #CSCS #MTBgram

STOP DOING CLAMS FOR GLUTE MED 🍑 Your Gluteus Medius is an important muscle to work on if you want to avoid or overcome hip, knee and low back issues 💪🏼 Clamshells are often prescribed, however this study from 2011 by K Boren et al showed that Clamshells had one of the lowest Glute Med AND Glute Max MVIC (activation) of any rehab exercise 🤯 The other 3 exercises mentioned are better options, so save this post, hit the ❤️ if you learnt something and get to work!

Clamshell is one of the worst exercises you can do to train your glute. With no reference around your foot, knee, hip and back, you are just doing the exercise for the sake of doing the exercise. You give your body no context of what this exercise means. So of course, when you get up tomorrow, and walk around, your low back feels exactly the same. I’m currently offering a free 7-day trial to help you realign your body and experience the difference.

Clamshell exercise can help to balance the muscular effort between your inner and outer thighs and your pelvic floor. This exercise is a great glute activation exercise too. Watch this video and hear the voice over🔊, to learn of 3️⃣ progressions that can be made to a simpler clamshell exercise, to add load and bring time under tension workout, for the same muscle group. #tonabolic #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #workout #exercise #ashritadatta

The lock clam!!! As a physical therapist I have seen many a patient perform the standard clamshell exercise incorrectly, allowing their pelvis to rotate and targeting more hip flexors than their deep hip rotators in the process. One of my favorite creators and educators @andrew_lock_strength found an alternative way to get more bang for your buck with the lock clam 💪🏼 Try this exercise if you’re wanting to gain more strength / muscle recruitment in your hip external rotators and abductors! It’s a TOUGH one.

✨The clamshell is commonly used in physical therapy for glute strengthening (specifically gluteus medius strengthening)…BUT it is not the best exercise when trying to target this muscle 🎯 ✨The glute medius is stronger when in an extended and neutral position, but when performing clamshells the glute medius is placed in a flexed position. So we really are NOT targeting this specific muscle. Here are 2 other clamshell variations I like to use that strengthen the glute med! 💪🏼 1. Side plank clamshells 2. Standing clamshells (this one gets bonus points because also works the standing leg glute med) Hope this video helps! 😊 Follow me for more rehab and fitness tips!

@dr.kevinhershberger
The clamshell is one of my most prescribed exercises improving activation of the lateral hip muscles in my patients. When the glute medius and hip external rotators are weak, your lower body can compensate with other muscles that affect the quality of the motion. The biggest mistake I see with this exercise? Too much movement through the lower back and pelvis. Your torso should stay completely still while only your hip joint moves in the socket. You should feel it working in your “back pocket” (glute medius), not in the front of your hip. If you’re feeling it in front, you’re likely compensating with your TFL and IT band instead of activating the correct muscles. Quality over quantity. How you move matters much more than how far you actually move. #clamshells #physicaltherapy #hipstrength #injuryprevention
