Hello,
I have been gradually going heavier and heavier on my barbell hip/glute thrusts. With the weight of the bar included, I’ve gone from hip thrusting 80 lb in 2019 to now doing 140 lb (4 sets of 10 on average). In the last year I’ve gained maybe 0.5 inches on my glutes. My questions:
1) should my glutes be sore after every time? I noticed my glutes only get sore rarely if I return back after take a few weeks off (like when training got interrupted for me due to the pandemic or when I took 3 months off due to an injury)- is my body just getting used to the stimulation?
2) if I’m working until failure or near failure and getting stronger gradually (just added 10 lb in the past month) but not getting sore in my glutes, is that ok/will I still gradually gain in my glutes?
3) should I put an elastic band Around my thighs while I do these and what does that do? I’ve tried both ways since I’ve seen it on Bret Contreras IG posts with some of his glute goddess ladies but I’m not sure if it felt much different or did much?
