Episode 33 “HIP SERIES (5/6)- Progression of Strengthening” Most people exercising their Glute’s at the gym focus ONLY on the sagittal plane (moving forward and backward). Many are unaware that the Glute muscles are triplanar! Meaning they move in all three planes (frontal, sagittal, and transverse) We are a Sagittal plane society! An emphasis on exercising only one plane may lead imbalances through the body. The clam is a great way to isolate the hip abductors & external rotators, however this video demonstrates great progressions to strengthen these muscles in a functional manner. #glutes #stabilize #valgus #butt #bootyblaster #lateralsteps #resistanceband ______________________________________________ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human movement and functional capacity, promoting longevity, and keeping your body in tune one post at a time.

Episode 32 “ HIP SERIES (4/6)- Strengthen with CLAMS” If neuromuscular control was NOT the culprit of one’s hip instability, I would bet my lunch money that it is due to hip WEAKNESS. Clam’s are a great way to isolate strengthening of the hip stabilizing muscles, especially the Gluteus Medius. Gluteus Medius is more than just a hip abductor and external rotator; it is used as a dynamic stabilizer during single limb stance activities such as walking/jogging/step-downs. Despite Clams being such a commonly used exercise, it is very easy to compensate with other muscles during this exercise. Repitition 1- Performed with optimal mechanics. Similar amounts of Glut. Medius will be activated from 30-60 degrees of hip flexion. There is also an added muscle action cue, noticed with touching the muscle that is to be activated, this may help you recruit this muscle. Repitition 2- Demonstrates compensation with Sidebending using the QL/core muscles. Repitition 3- Demonstrates compensation by using momentum of my upper body to provide movement at the hip. Repitition 4- Performed with optimal mechanics again. With pure movement at the hip joint, and you will feel the burn! #glutes #stabilize #valgus #butt #bootyblaster ______________________________________________ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human movement and functional capacity, promoting longevity, and keeping your body in tune one post at a time.
