Squat Warm Up – Banded Clams vs. Banded Squat

First off, there is never a bad exercise, but there may be a more efficient choice.

Let’s compare the common banded clam exercise with a banded squat as a warm-up to activate the glutes, particularly the glute medius. Performing a banded clam can be challenging for some individuals, as the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) muscle can sometimes overpower the glute medius, especially during the hip flexion involved in the clam exercise.
