Hi,
I’m starting the Powerbuilding 1 template after having run Bridge twice. The second run has yielded much less results than the first run.
I feel like my hams and glutes are keeping me from progressing in the deadlift at 86%+ (i.e. hips shoot up at the start of the lift, i have trouble pushing the floor away) and am thinking of adding in some hip thrust work - would you think I could swap excercise 2 on day 2 for a hip thrust?
Thanks
Kogniac,
While you can do whatever you like, I don’t think your glutes and hamstrings are what’s holding you back from progressing on the deadlift. I think it’s likely technique given your report here and you’re starting with your hips too low. Additionally, I wouldn’t use hip thrusts to improve deadlift performance.
If it were me, I’d probably keep the program the same the first run through. If I had to add an exercise, it’d be Nordic Hamstring Curls or tempo RDL’s.
