why do you deadlift with your legs so far apart???

That's sumo style. People lifting in sumo tend to lift somewhat heavier then in regular stance.

 

[rookie03]

hmmm it looks harder to me?

 

[AngryMuscles]

not really..you can both lift heavy using both stances...it's really up to ya where you're comfy at.

The ROM is shorter (alot) when using sumo, so you should have a higher 1RM.

 

[rookie03]

yea it looks shorter, but at the same time itlooks like its all lower back and no legs with sumo so i dont know.

I think its the other way around bro.

 

[AngerFist]

I think its the other way around bro.

For sure, it's all hips and hams! The torso is more erect than when u do a conventional deadlift.

I pull sumo which is less lower cak and keep your spine in more of a vertical, straight position. I have 2 heriated discs ion my low back. Pulling convo isn't really an option.

 

[Mudge]

A lot of people pull wide like that, shortens travel for one. I dont though, I squat, leg press, and pull all narrow.

What Mranak said and it also tends to make you instantly angry.

never made me angry that I can recall, but it does make you alert. I never stuffed them up my nose though like Kaz.

Good job Rocco....

kaz would have shoved them any orifice for some leverage lol

 

[pullinbig]

congrats on a very nice bench roco. you smoked it. 700 will fall soon.

your deadlift form looks ok. i still dont like the roll away stuff, its wasted movement. you obviously had no probs getting down to grab the bar. like i said previously none of the top pullers do it that i have seen.

but congrats on doing the meet and hitting a big bench.

 

[rookie03]

yea man sorry about all the deadlift talk thats not what this thread was for... awsome bench!

 

[roccodart440]

Yes, I've been working on dbool suppositories myself

 

[joshhutch]

it looks like you will blow a nut deadlifting sumo style

 

[AngryMuscles]

Sumo or convo it's all the same strain wise.

It's amazing so many guys know nothing of this practice. I kinew about it when I was in high school. Yes they are amonia capsules, which are paper wrapped around a glass vial filled with amonia with adye init. Squeeze and break the glass and voila.
