Sumo Options!

"As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one." - 1 Corinthians 8:4
Some thoughts (w/262lb) after over four decades of Sumo Squats & Deadlifts. Basically, there's a time to use a hammer while other times an axe would be more effective. Strong Barbell 102,5lb plates with TWO pairs of Strength Tech collars on a 1960s Weightlifting bar were used for the demonstration. You can use Sumo work to build Side Split ability, which is mostly what l did. It allowed me to do the Van Dam Lift @43 y.o. (shown during this video with 150lb) WITHOUT training for it. Just like Powerlifters will sometimes use an illegally wide grip on the Bench Press to fix a training problem, the same can be done with Sumo Lifts and many others. Don't get locked into the Bodybuilding or Powerlifting way of doing a lift. Listen to your body and do YOUR way. God Bless.
