Thank you again Mark for the opportunity!

Wearing a duty belt for decades i cant do conventional without quickly injuring the lower back near the spine. Sumo allows me to lift without lower back injuries, but does risk more cartilage issues in the knees. Saving this video to my powerlifting playlist😊

Great, explanation of the hook grip. I did it wrong for so long and tried the more relaxed grip and pinching my thumb the last 2 weeks training grip holds. Feels 💯 x better..

Really really thnx brother for all of this free informations 💖

Great video with a lot of tips and ques, started doing sumo a couple of weeks ago and I will definitely come back to this video, thank you

This is a great video, I watched my old videos of my sumo deadlift and i have a lot of stuff to fix to stay the least. I’ve lifted over 500lbs for multiple reps, so I’m definitely not a noob, but my triangle is absolutely huge and my hips are too high. Once i clean everything up i wonder how much closer i will be to 600 lbs😊. Thank you for the knowledge, I’ve watched hundreds of sumo deadlifts and technique videos, but yours really helped it click.

Excellent coaching

Great video. I’m thinking of switching to sumo once I hit 5 plates on conventional

5:45 basically utilizing the horse stance, since you brought up the frog stance earlier

Great video, will be using it to pull 675 as a 17 year old at 180bw

what he means is he takes advantage of his 5 ft frame lol

great vid, i just switched styles cus my balls were too big

Great video

holy shit what a video

I train for functionality and my opinion is sumo isn't cheating. If you're a nurse needing to lift a 300lbs patient from the floor onto a stretcher, the last thing you'll be telling yourself is "oh wait, I better do conventional because sumo is cheating". Sure you can argue for competition it's cheating. But in this case, you're wrong. It is within the rules of competition therefore it is factually, not cheating in the very sport. It now becomes opinion vs fact of the matter. That's almost like saying low bar squat is cheating vs high bar squat. Wide grip bench is cheating vs close grip bench. They're all within the rules of the sport. I'm a conventional lifter btw if anyone wants to throw in that "oh you're defending sumo because you use sumo". I am however...Trying to find the best way for my body type on lifting off a dead stop object off the floor. This is for both competition settings and IRL situations. Thanks Mark! Amazing and very informative video.

But doesnt this only work since you have the body to stay this upright?

What's his conventional?
