That would be a logical choice being as it gives you that extra recovery time but for now I wouldn't treat them as more than an activation exercise. Maybe keep it to 2 sets and don't focus on going as heavy as possible but rather on using the glutes as the primary hip extensors. If you go too heavy then whatever compensation patterns you normally use will just take over. But if you keep it light enough you can really "feel" the glutes (and hams). Pullthroughs are great for that. Once you really get the glutes working you can progress really quickly on them. But at first you are likely to have some really sore glutes and hams so again that's another reason to keep the sets low at first.

One the glutes thing I want to mention a few things for anyone who cares so they can see the fundamental logic and also see that I am not saying something "different". A lot of times when it comes to the lower back rounding out people will tell you it has a lot to do with hamstring flexiblity. Which it can. So I mentioned flexibility at the beginning of that post. But what most people don't recognize is that tight hamstrings VERY often go along with weak glutes. Also tight lumbar extensors, etc. also. So you see this is just another part of the equation. Just working on hamstring flexibility alone will help to some extent but it won't solve the problem completely. Of course the whole back will need to be strong but that will really come along with it. It's not really back strength that is the problem even though most people just say to do extensions for almost any problem they see concerning the lower body, lol.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
