    Watched this video at about 12:00pm EST. Played tennis, then hit the gym for an hour. Workout was supposed to be deadlifts 4x3x340 followed by an AMRAP at 340.
    Decided to pull sumo, because I remembered Josh Hancott spitting mad knowledge... Breezed through the working sets. Scrapped the AMRAP and decided to hit some singles.
    Previous PR was 385 conventional. Went for 405, smoked it for a double. Went to 455 and got it. 70 pound PR.

    In this video, IPF World Champion Josh breaks down the sumo deadlift & explains something I've never heard before...that unlike the conventional which is essentially one movement, the sumo is two parts.
    If you found the video useful, make sure to like it and check out Josh here he's uploading daily!

      Cuz people expect only massive huge blokes to lift big weight. Size isn't equal to strength. All your joints, tendons etc play more of a part to it than muscles. That's why (usually) steroid users get lots of injuries. The muscles get stronger before all the supporting structure. That's why being nautrual, you don't get massive, and you don't get much bigger very fast. Because all the skeleton, joints, tendons are getting stronger first.

  • @rsalehi6568
    @rsalehi6568 8 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    In sumo DL, the width of your stand should be such that your shins are vertical at point of initial pull. Your arms should also be hanging vertically, so you can keep as much an erect body posture as possible.Lock out is complete when your hips are in full extension, usually cued with full squeeze of the glutes, not the extension of the upper back.Josh keeps rounded upper back because it allows for lesser knee bend and hip hinge, thus a taller initial posture allows to pull heavier load. But it can eventually lead to injury on max lifts.If you are not competing, keep the whole of the back neutral and super tight. Keep your torso as rigid as possible by keeping lats, erectors, traps tight. Also importantly, tighten and pull in your lower abs to create strong support under rib cage to stiffen the torso.

    Just started lifting about 2 months ago for football. Was always discouraged that I could only get 225 for reps while my friends are pulling up to 500lbs or more. I've been doing the one fluid motion since I started and no one corrected me, switched it up yesterday and got 315x1. Baby steps but steps nonetheless. Great advice!

    I wouldn't say it's incorrect sumo, it's called squat stance. Feet as forward as possible. The method has no sticking points and has allowed me to deadlift with no issues. Neither conventional nor sumo works for me. Ed Coan was on to something when he deadlifted like that and I'm surprised more people don't.
