Feel the burn!! - but only in glutes

Switched programs awhile ago to strong curves. My glutes really burn during and after working out even sometimes the next day. But I never feel the burn in other body parts (legs, arms, abs, etc) even when I did strong lifts. Does that mean I'm not working my other parts enough or is there a reason only glutes burn?

    Lots of reasons for DOMS, generally it's because you're undertrained in the lift/movement/exercise you're doing, and you'll hurt from that stimulus until your body is conditioned.

    I would never be sad if my glutes were hurting.

    For me it is the opposite! Switched from 5x5 to strong curves and feel hardly anything afterwards. DURING I go clise to failure with hip thrusts etc. But then I get up and don't feel it. Weird. Probably in everyday life I do not activate them - just as he says in the book!
