great job. Some big squats their.

 

[pullinbig]

thanks guys. the first one was high. just kinda got a feel for the weight and to see if it was gonna crush me or not. =0l

second one went down and up no prob.

looks like ill open up around 840 or so and go from there. anyway thats what i was told yesterday. id love to squat nine at my first meet back, esp since i havent trained heavy squats in nearly 3 years. find out in 11 days.

If one is a conventinal deadlifter, what is the benefit of doing sumo deads in their routine? I'm guessign it would just blast the quads harder.

 

[pullinbig]

i switched over to sumo a week or 2 ago.

but as far as training goes it just hits muscles a little different. good mix is nice for overall growth.

12/09/05 fri:

lets face it unless you are a gifted puller how will you know if sumo is better for you than conventional? you wont unless you train them both and see what works...besides that sumo will hit the hips/groin more than conv being strong in one will help the other

Could you post any vid of your sumo deadlift?

 

[pullinbig]

dont have one. maybe after the meet ill get one up.

plenty of sumo pulls on irongame.net under videos.

 

[inked1]

does pulling sumo help your squat?
reason i ask is sometimes i get real sore in the groin area after squatting deep, and ( after reading these posts) I thought that maybe doing sumo deads might help stretch and strengthen these muscles.

 

[pullinbig]

definately. also wide leg press if you have a leg press with a big platform on it.

 

[Insane_Man]

Interesting. I'll need to throw them in.

 

[mister69]

sumo deads hmm sounds like i might have to try those
