Fuck you it's a real question

>>42533633
Sumo is fine. You are diverting stress from your back to your quads. Only fags get butthurt about sumo.

>>42534662
If you already squat then what's the fucking point

oh right, powerlifting isn't actually about getting strong

>>42533633
Yeah, your "legit" 2pl8 deadlift is much more impressive!

>>42533633
turn on your trip boardshorts we know its you..

>>42533633
Straps don't count. Sumo is fine.

Also that's 495 for 1rep? Lel

>>42534896
because it trains your posterior chain and back better than a squat.

>>42535483
That's only the case if you never break parallel on a squat.

>>42533633
Just got outlifted by someone at your gym, huh?

>>42533633
that shit isn't even real sumo. looks like some kind of hybrid or this guy is like 5'4 or less

>>42535135
bet you can't even do 315

>>42536674
He is 6'4

>>42536710
i'm 6'3 and my legs are touching plates when i pull sumo. leg placement like that is conventional for me

>>42533633
Your muscles don't know you're cheating. You get better gains since your body is confused and thinks you're deadlifting more than before.

> gets upset by strap users

Ask me how I can tell you don't lift much, or don't smash back very often, if at all.
You've probably never stayed much long than 45 mins at the gym too.

>>42533633
The smart lifter that plans to stay in the game for a long time competes against themselves not others and really does not give a shit if someone else does not view there lift as legit.

The deadlift as a measure of strength and why as a competitive tool foot/hand placement is irrelevant on the whole.

Due to bio mechanics some people will be able to pull more than others conventional this is there biological limit.

Due to training some people will be able to pull more conventionally/sumo even if they are more optimal suited for the other.

So to take away biological leverage advantages it only makes sense to allow that movement to happen the way the lifter wants with as few rules as possible.

As to assistance equipment. Many different people train for many different reasons. For me grip strength past 405 is really not needed for my personal life or fitness goals. Yours migth be different.

>a tip to you, m'sir

>>42533633
Sumo is fine on its own, but sumo and conventional should not be allowed in the same competition, theyre completely different movements

I bet he's in better shape than you chump, post pics or stfu

>>42538139

I accept your tip.

As to if sumo/conventional should be allowed in the same category. I would say you are correct in a pure sense, but logistically the sport is simply not that popular and additional rules become a nightmare. As a ref not this sport, but a different sport arbitrary rules about hand and foot placement are a nightmare and the cause for endless bickering.

Sumo hits your hamstrings, glutes, and back just fine. It's only "quad dominant" if you set up like an absolute mongoloid

>>42538408
Yeah I don't get pure pl people or even pure bb or pure cardio people.

I want all around fitness so I lift heavy, add in some high rep sets for size, and run 5k 3x per week.

Seems like nobody wants to be kind of good at all 3 and instead want to be really good at one.

>>42539135
Yeah but running suffers when you put on size. They aren't mutually exclusive per se but running and size don't benefit each other

>>42538408
Don't all athletes at heavyweights look like shit ? Boxing, mma, oly, some American handeggers

>>42533633
You realize sumo doesn't make you any weaker when you pull conventional

Grip strength will limit you back every time. Nobody does deadlifts to train grip strength.

Sumo just means your grip is inside your legs, that's it.
I pull close sumo (aka semi sumo which is a retarded name) because it feels better for me. Can't explain why. I'm barely 2 inches outside what I'd use for conventional but it feels so much better. Pulled 10kg more that way the first time I tried.

These are literal nobodies fighting in an org that isn't even c-tier.
They probably make 1k to show and one 1k to win. Not a lot of ranked UFC heavyweights are fat, with the exception of Mark Hunt, but he is a legit bum.
Not an argument.
