[GeorgesStHenry]

Even his conventional leverages are insane 🤯

[MushookieMan]

His shoulders look like they want to leave his body.

[_godslyer_]

The mobility is insane. He opens his hips so much that his shins cut over his feet and he has to twist his ankles and then he can sit in that position and pull optimally.

[Santi]

this to me is very impressive, how does he not get injured performing this move?

[HerculesFit]

The dude is in deadlift position just standing 😂

[_jompbup_]

Im noticing a pattern here..

-18 out of 24 of these records are sumo. (75%)

-4 out of the top 5 deadlift of all time are sumo.

- krstof, Dan, and Jamal all are under 300 lbs and are all .damn near 1100Lbs. All pull sumo.

We have not seen a raw Conventional deadlift over 1, 000 SINCE 2011. The heaviest most recently in comp is chris weist at 942.

The data clearly shows one is favored than then then the other and its for an obvious reason, becuase you can lift more sumo.

Stop being delusional and accept the fact that you have to pull sumo becuase your not strong enough to do it Conventional.

[Bullseye_Strength]

The question is: *Which is worse?*
Extreme wide sumo on a whippy bar
or
Extreme arch bench with a 3-4 inch ROM

[NattyGuy]

Those 405 dimels are fire 🔥 never see anyone doing those. Big props.

[joeysavino]

This dude is perfectly built for deadlift, look how long his arms are, now bench on the other hand, quite the opposite

[bkbrawla]

More like a circus trick than a feat of strength!

[ajcross]

I'm sorry I don't understand a lot of these comments; the first method is a parlor trick that lifts the bar 6 inches in a functionally useless stance, then he has to drop almost 300 lbs to do them correctly. Admittedly multiple clean reps of 405 is quite good but still...

[ygtt]

Sumo is basically a standing leg press.

[Hfidon]

This is why I stopped paying attention to powerlifting as a whole. Everytime an insane deadlift number is hit it's sumo, figure 8 straps on whippy bars with short femurs and long humerus. Either all variables or most and it gets boring over the last 5-6 years. Glad someone is calling it out after all this time.

[gkonitz]

Sumo deadlift was always a joke. This is just the woke sub culture of weightlifting.

[xinsanedefeatx]

Reminds me a ton of Yury Belkin, sad to see guys from a generation or two ago being forgotten

I remember when the goat conversation used to be between Coan and Belkin, back when Haack was still natty

[Pro_Skillz]

Nice 3 inch rom 👏 I suppose his bench arch is high af too

[JohnRed]

People doing these ridiculous ''sumo'' ''deadlifts'' are basically doing a rack pull. It's the same exact movement, same exact range of motion. The only difference is that instead of having the bar higher off the floor they lower themselves lower to the floor.

"Sumo deadlift specialist" = DYEL

[GordonHeaney]

Hate sumo, but his grip strength is impressive
