My traps were always really sore after deadlifts, much moreso than my hip extensors, but based on what I’ve read from BBM about hypertrophy deadlifts are not more efficient for trap growth than ham/glute growth because they don’t work the traps through any range of motion. Is near term cramping more reliable as an indicator that a particular muscle group is taking on stress?
Since the shutdown I’ve been trying to accumulate some meaningful stress without the usual equipment and I’m having trouble discerning wether or not the stuff I’m doing is hard enough to be productive. If I’m doing band hip thrusts and managing to get really sore glutes directly afterwards, is this a good reason to be optimistic that the work is productive, or not really?
thanks ya’ll
