Clamshell Exercise Questions - What Hip Angle Should I Use?

With me, it's never a short answer. When choosing your hip angle for the clamshell exercise, it depends. Often we have to start around 90 degees for a more centrated hip position, but sometimes have to modify based on hip joint restrictions or pain. Eventually we want full activation from flexion to full extension, with a straightened lower leg for increased load into internal rotation and adduction.

Informative. I now have a better understanding of additional angles along with understanding where activation occurs. Thanks !
