Training logs for the UCLA Powerlifting Team and Alumni
You might consider going heavier on the glute thrusts. Somewhere in the 405+ range. It's such a short motion, it's worth overloading the glutes.
I may crank up the progression then. The 255 didn't feel too hard. Also, do you recommend pausing at the contracted postition on these?
If possible, pausing will help. You don't need to pause for seconds at a time though. I think since the lifter has a mechanical advantage on the lift, it's necessary to go heavier than expected to really stimulate the muscles.
