    Give me a shout when you put it up. Proper technique and the appropriate training plan is critical for a big deadlift. Sumo or conventional doesn’t make a difference.

    I doubt it’s your traps. It’s difficult to assess your problem without seeing you lift. Can you post a video here on You Tube?

    I was 23 years old and at the very end of my eligibility as junior. I started competitive powerlifting at 18. I spent approximately 2 months on a strict high protein, low fat diet to drop from 156 to 150 and then shed 2 more lbs in the sauna the night before the competition. I swear I would never drop that much weight ever again although I did continue to drop weight to make weight as an Olympic weightlifter, just not so drastically.

    That’s just ridiculous!
    How old were you and how long were you training up till that point? How much weight did you cut?

    amazing. if i saw you walking around with a shirt on i would have never guess you could pull up that much weight

    For me personally, yes it is a bit easier IMO than a conventional deadlift, IF you have good flexibility and maintain perfect technique. I could do about 60 lbs more sumo style than conventional style. Ask some other people though and their answer many be very different. I know people who can’t even deadlift sumo, but lift heavy conventional style. Bottom line is take advantage of the leverage mother nature gave you.

    Had to drop a significant amount of bodyweight over several months and some more in the sauna prior to the meet. No early weighin was permitted. I was totally bent on breaking the IPF junior world record and looking back it is amazing how much mental and physical energy I devoted to the goal of breaking the record. Silly really.

    LOL! I’ve never taken any performance enhancing drugs especially steroids. I’ve always been kind of chesty and the powersuit pushes up the pectoral muscles much like a bra, embarassing enough. FWIW, I do not suffer from gynecomastia or “bitch tits” since I haven’t used steroids. I was an average guy doing a higher than average task by pulling that kind of weight. More >
