I'm stymed
So I read the article, below on the sumo dl. Everyone seems stronger pulling sumo. What the hell am I doing wrong.
I played with the form today
135 x 3 singles
225x 2 singles
315 x 1 single
335 glued to that damn floor
Conventional
335x1
405 broke it off the ground 2-3 inches.
Strengthworks has a former Westsider as the trainer, as soon as I have the cashola I'm going to schedule an hour or so with him.
Swings to follow later

sumo deadlifters are born not made.Unfortunately being built to lift a certain way does not always mean you are stronger that way.
The phrase 'its all easy til its heavy' came from my training of the sumo dl. I had perfect form up til a certain weight than- nothing- welder man melted the weight to the floor.
one should both his strong and weak stances but when the chips are down and you gotta pull conventional gives you lots more leeway to fight. sumo you are either perfect or you can't lift it at all.
then again it could be your technique,lol.
sorry dude. alternate cycles. get your pr in each style and cycle it. when you get stronger in one it cant help but get you stronger in the other.
That's what I figured Rif, CV next cycle. I was just hoping for a pr after the bench deal. No biggie really, it's al just data to make descisions on. LOL
I got greedy LOL
one thing about sumo also, five pounds too heavy can look just like 50 pounds too heavy. sump is hardest off the floor, if you get it started usually you can lock it out. sumo pulls while standing on a 2 inch block help this as do 2 kb swings and sumo deads from the floor to the knee.
VERY good to know. I was thinking that maybe the reason I'm stronger CV might be swings, i was thinkin' about getting another 53 and doing double swings in the sumo stance. Hell if it's good enough for "Spud"......
Rif's right. You need perfect stance or it's stuck to the floor... and five pounds might as well be welded to the floor-- cause it ain't coming up!
I still like it though-- much easier on my back.
