I don't like doing sumo, because the weight doesn't feel right with my hands so close together. Usually I take a wide stance and go with a conventional grip.

All out sumo, better on my knees, and my long legs really get in the way when I do conventional, and it kind of does a Stiff-Legged deadlifts, my hips rise up way too quickly, and then I finish the pull. Plus I like gripping close, no idea what I can do on conventional now...

When I started sumo I did 315x2 on conventional and 295x1 sumo.

Well I guess I will just have to make a video of me doing sumo again at 315 and see if I can rep as many as you bro hopefully I can I wouldn't want to embarass myself....

If conventional is stronger, then you should do it that way.

go light untill you get used to the form and used to the grip Iwould suggest starting as light as 135.

sumo is crap to me. doesn't work as well, are you allowed to use it for competition? I just see people moving the weight with less distance and looking teh ghey.

550lb dead ftw.

with my 405lb squat today I have at least 1325 big 3 total @ 202lbs.

I need to compete.
