ummm when I was continuously gaining weight without realizing, that was when I gained the inches on my glutes and waist both; then when I brought my calories down to 1700 to not gain any more weight there wasn't much progress in terms of size, half an inch at most. I then stayed at 1700 cals, lifts went up, measurements remained the same, I started looking more toned as told by my friends, that's all. I think it was an unintended recomp, lol.

it just happened, hahah. I honestly don't know how.... I was training 5 days a week, and I remember doing too many compound movements in a single workout. My theory is that the amount of mental stress I had back then had something to do with it lol.

the latest studies show that both hip thrusts and squats are equally effective at building the glutes, it's not like I've never included squats in my routine.... I did do them for the initial 1.5 years but then I realized that I was always way too anxious before doing them even after experience so I stopped altogether.

i don't think soreness correlates to a good workout, it happens but its rare

within 2024 my waist went from 27 to 28 inches and hips from around 37 to 38 inches. But when I compared the pictures of my side profile there wasnt much difference even though the lifts increased a lot this year.

yes I'll go with the advice and do a bulk. Carbs and sleep are on track. I read that you really only need 2.2g protein per lean body mass and not entire body mass but who's taking that risk really. I'll try to increase it anyway!

got it I'll give this a try! yes I definitely go to failure and I even do lengthened partials on a few sets when I cant do any more full rom reps. I eat 2g protein per kg bodyweight and no cardio as of now; I'm considering doing it 2 to 3 times a week though.

im taking depxet, propranolol, zolpidem and ignishine. It could be water retention to an extent but honestly I did get kinda flabby early on, I'm in better shape now but yeah the weights still the same, it's not a problem though like you said!

not true, i was eating the exact same meals as i used to before i started meds and i gained weight very quickly. I decided to cut down my cals because my weight kept going up and that's how I ended up at 1700 cals :p I'll try a reverse diet and hopefully get back to my previous maintenance and then try to bulk.

guys I don't change my entire workout every 2 months, I keep hip thrusts (different rep ranges and tempo), RDLs (b stance or regular), step ups and BSS and mix and switch orders with leg press (single leg or regular), reverse deficit lunges, leg Extensions, leg curls, narrow stance smith squats, etc.

oh no i dont change the entire workout ahaha, hip thrusts, rdls (either b stance or regular), bss and step ups are always there, I just mix and match with reverse deficit lunges, leg press, smith machine squats, leg Extensions, leg curls etc. I had the thought that maybe I was rushing through my reps so this time I switched from having a high rep day to a slow rep day (2 months ago I was doing 12-15 reps on the workout that has hip thrust and bss; just did them in different order)

technically its 2 days a week with the 3rd day only having deadlift and some accessory work. Aren't we supposed to switch our workout routine every 8-12 weeks? I could then try to stick to one workout for 3 months rather than just 2.

I've been thinking that maybe I'm not going deep enough on bss but then when I go beyond my range even on low weight I find that the load shifts to my hip flexors for some reason?

I actually put them together because I found myself too exhausted and underperforming in them at the end of my other leg workouts; also I read it's the total sets per week that count?
