DON'T DO THIS...if you don't want gains

Am I the only on that thinks hitting the sore muscle temporarily relieves it ?? 🤔 😆

Clocked in this leg day using 20 and 25 pound dumbbells and a 50 pound kettlebell!

This was also my first time trying b stance good mornings (Thanks Instagram) and it was weird at first but that glute isolation is definitely worth it!

I also added the weighted vest during my squats for extra weight since I need a little more weight but refuse to buy more at the moment 🙃

I did do 4 sets of everything till failure with the heaviest weight I could use and it's only been a few hours and my legs are sore 😩 walking the next few days will be a blast 😆

... Read moreWhen it comes to leg day, taking the right approach can make all the difference. **Hitting sore muscles** might seem like a quick fix, but it's essential to understand proper recovery and workout strategies. The **b stance good mornings** you tried are a fantastic way to isolate your glutes; they help in improving strength and muscle growth effectively. Incorporating a **weighted vest** not only increases resistance but also challenges your stability, leading to better overall strength gains in your lower body. Remember, doing sets until failure can be beneficial, but ensure you maintain good form to prevent injuries. Track your progress and gradually increase weights to continue seeing results. Also, do not forget to include flexibility and mobility work in your routine to aid recovery. Leg days can leave you sore, but utilizing techniques like foam rolling or dynamic stretching can ease soreness and promote muscle repair. Engaging in post-workout nutrition, especially protein intake, is crucial for muscle recovery, ensuring your body has the necessary nutrients to rebuild. Lastly, aim for a holistic approach to leg day—not just focusing on strength, but integrating cardio and endurance exercises for a well-rounded fitness regime.

The hip thrust is an exercise you can't be skipping if you are trying to grow your glutes and get a juicy booty. Just like any other exercise, if you're performing the movement wrong, you may not be getting the most out of the exercise which could be hindering your progress and results.
