deadlifting

[princessofdarkness]

If your arms are short and your squat is strong, then why not pull sumo so you can squat it up? It's just like doing a front squat, but with the bar hanging rather than in a clean position.

you mean a sumo deadlift? been there tried it, just gonna have to stop being gunshy....tomorrow gonna go back to deads......i hope, want to powerlift next year before my bb season starts

So you don't like sumo?

I like it because I use my legs more and back less. I really feel like, for MY deadlift, speed is where it's at. I like to train speed through the lockout with reverse band deadlifts. For getting it off the floor, I like to choke the bar down with bands or chains, and do them off a box. Get a lot of fire out of the hole that way. We also trained deads with a band wrapped over a belt and under out feet, although, I prefer them choked on the floor better.

Damn, Irish! That was impressive!

Here's a sumo example...with less than half the weight!

...okay, a little more than half, but still.

Do you ever pull sumo Irish? Is it close to your conventional?

 

[IrishPower]

for reason unbeknowst to me, i really suck at sumo. too much technique involved i think.

your lift was more impressive than mine for the simple reason that you completed yours!
