Lady Robot speaking.

yesterday, after three months of going to the gym three times a week, i've finally dared to try the sumo deadlift and the hip thrust exercices. i love it very much and i'm sure it's gonna help me to get results even quicker so i'm real stoked! BUT, when i woke up this morning i felt like an incredibly old lady!! my back, bum, and thighs hurt as hell! i do walk like a robot mixed with a cowboy. i had to cancel today's workout. :-( hopefully i could come back to the gym next Friday, i need to train!!

its just a bit of DOMS... i wouldn't cancel your workout today, just stick to upper body instead. some walking & stretching will probably help.

By combining the two activities in the same workout (especially at first) you are using similar muscles and that can lead to muscle strain.

Have you thought about trading off and not lifting every day?

Refreshing sleep and anti-inflammatories help.

Yeah, that's going to hurt when you are adding to new, and big exercises into your routine at one time. Just remember it will get better as you get used to it. Sounds like this might be a 5 day soreness, but you can workout again on Friday without issue, but it might add a bit of soreness. I wouldn't do legs on Friday if you do go.
