Glutes & Legs

I'm giving my upper left back another rest today so no Deadlifts or lifting any heavy stuff horizontally. I should be ok by Tuesday, hopefully.

Warm up
Mobility drill
Bw squat

BB Hip Thrust (bench) / band abduction
2x135 x 12 - warm up
2x155lbs x 10
2x165lbs x 8

Bench was totally harder but I focused on the full ROM - so I let the BB plates touched the ground before I lifted up with my hips. Obviously couldn't go too heavy - even with 165lbs - I started to feel my quads and inner thighs to get burn towards the end of last 3 reps, which means I started to lose tension on my butt. I think I'll try using bench from now on and work my weight up from here again.
