Gradual Introduction and Good Instruction
When starting riskier exercises like hip thrusts, deadlifts, and RDLs, it's crucial to gradually introduce them. Seek good instruction to ensure proper form and technique. Do not swap them in one-to-one immediately. Start with minimal form deviation and gradually progress closer to failure or increased load.
