I'm sure my deads are about to move on up, all this added mass in my glutes, hammies and erectors has to account for something

although this time I'm gonna try it sumo style I think, but I'm not sure if I'm as strong sumo style. Most I've lifted sumo style is 225lbs for a double, I'm being very patient

You haven't been doing sumo for long. My bet is that they will start to explode real soon as you get more comfortable with them. I have farted around with sumo style a little, but it just doesn't feel as natural for me as it seems to look like it is for you.

I am hoping to go for 475 here in a few weeks.

Congrats, man.

Sorry to hijack your thread Lee


yeah I've been sumoing with cleangrip - feels good like this.
I tried the alternate grip last workout and it felt a bit uncomfortable because of the closer grip.

Good job man. A pr is never low, thats what makes it a pr
