hip and glute thrusts

[gacintot]

I've been increasing the lifts on my hip and glute thrusts from 80 pounds up to 150 pounds and i do 4 sets of 12. i've put on an inch on my glutes in the past year. one thing i notice is that my muscles get sore only when i take time off from doing them and then come back. should i start using an elastic band around my thighs?

I would do the trusts without the band or any resistance. I suggest doing it naturally.

You don't NEED to be sore.

 

[SteveSmi]

your body is reacting to being shocked, that is all. i think you are overtraining

Don't put much stock into soreness. You will still make gains whether you are sore or not if you are doing thing properly.

that's a significant increase
