Biomechanics researcher and coach; practical, evidence‑driven strength training and injury‑smart progress.
Please explain @fitnessa_coach - where are you adding muscle? Glute max? Glute med? Glute min? Some secret muscle that anatomist haven’t discovered yet? Because I haven’t figured out a way to smooth out hip dips through resistance training and I’ve been doing this for 3 decades. Hip dips are an anatomical certainty if you get strong and lean enough.
Took me a couple of decades of lifting and training others to figure this out. When you return from a layoff, just do one set of each exercise. The goal is to get back on track as quickly as possible.
I think this is a useful tip 👌🏽. Holding onto two heavy dumbbells can be brutal (once you get really strong). You never want your glute training to be limited by grip strength.
