So that is your pic ehhh?

I hope you don't mind that I used it to illustrate proper sumo deadlifting form!!If you have a problem with having your picture posted PM me and I'll take it down.

No I wasn't at the meet bro, I just pulled it somewhere off the web...and It looked good so I put em together to show users how to deadlift...I hope you don't mind..

If it's not cool to have your pic posted...just let me know!


BTW, you're a strong MoFo!

What is that about 615lbs or so?

No problem- I think that pic is a 625. Let me know if you can think of the website you found the pic on.

I believe so.. I can't imagine why they wouldn't. I know a powerlifter who only dl's sumo and he has huge traps and a thick back.

Thanks for the info Phreezer. I love deads myself. I think they're great and a vary practicle lift for everyday life.

I am hoping to make it to a deadlift contest this Friday night (3-26). Hope to get a personal best. If I can't make the contest I'll just have a mock contest at home and video it for the kids.

Peace,

Ps. I lift conventional style but am going to maybe give sumo a try after the contest. It will be like starting all over again but it may pay off in the end.

doing stiff legged dead lifts @ 315

I was using proper form ( I think) but sure enuff
I got a spasming lower back muscle that put me out of the game for two weeks


I'm back now, even dead lifting but I wonder if I should cahnge anything I even messed around with 315 again......using a smith machine rather than a free bar.

[Phreezer]

hmmm... sounds like you may have been using your lower back a bit too much... You should be raising and lowering the weight more with your hips than with your back.

Wow ... I have been busy for a while, but it is great to come back and take a look and see a great thread like this. Great work, Phreezer.

Forgot I posted this. I went to the contest and got my personal best. I opened at 570, 2nd was 617 (PR was 616) 3rd attempt was 650. Since this was a meet record they let me go for another attempt. Tried 672, got it up to my knees and lost my grip. Still REAL happy though.

Am now starting to try the Sumo style deads. I want that 700 pound deadlift!
Again, thanks for the thread!

Peace,
