The post split squat ar$e doms is already pretty significant today. Getting a bit worried about deadlifting tomorrow.

Indeed the post split squat glute doms. It is truly bizarre how hard it hits, when you groove it right.
Strange for me to say this in any other context, but I’m glad it sounds like you’ve at least solved some of your glute problems.

Haha well not exactly. I was just concurring with Rob that BSS do indeed make for some serious glute soreness. I am not currently programming them, however, and continue to not get much glute response without them.

severe doms today, just putting on and tying my shoes was intense pain. Pretty sure deadlifting tonight is going to be pure torture
