lol.. stick to powerlifting boards.
i love those broken capillaries guys (women get them too but i like em on guys) get on their triceps from bench shirts and thighs from squat suits.
THAT is hot.

[Tafman]

6'3

shoulder stance

 

[pushthatpin]

6'2'' shoulder width stance, im not comfortable doing sumo, just doesnt feel right for me

 

[B.Reel]

6'6, just outside shoulder width

 

[Double3]

Shoulder width maybe a little wider

 

[Fender]

Just slightly wider than shoulder width but my arms are inside my legs. I have a long torso and can't seem to do standard pulls without rounding my back just so I can reach the bar.

I'm 6'

 

[Skarhead1]

I pull sumo, spride legs as wide as possible . 5'8'' short legs, long arms

 

[DocJ]

Shoulder width for a typical back workout.
Sumo if going for low reps (1-3).
5'9"

 

[MANOWAR]

I'm 5'4'', use a really wide leg stance and really close hand grip. Sometimes causes the bar to wobble, but I'm comfertable.

ive been doing conventional since i started them, about 4 years. ive been thinking about doing them sumo now or at least to switch off because it feels more natural. the conv. style feels ok i guess but when i have my PL belt on, feels awkward and gets in the way.

my feet point out naturally as well, and im also short, only about 5'6". im just worried about groin pulls or anything. just squatting down and assuming the sumo position and coming up seems like it would strain my hips/groin area but maybe im just overthinking.
