Awesome pull, clean as a whistle!

I will be doing light conventional after my meet not often but it’ll be thrown in. I also just started doing GM’s so will have to see how they work out. Still going very very light on them till I get the form down
That answers your question.
I think that’s pretty good.
Is that good? 750?

Weak back. Notice that the OP said he didn’t convert to sumo until he pulled a 620 at 198 coventional. Notice that he also discussed doing block pulls and deficits in conjugate style. He’s working the shit out of his back. The squat will take care of the hips.
That depends who you ask. I think most people who’ve put video of their own lifts up will say yes. A more secretive, but wildly accomplished lifter might say that a 750 sumo pull at 190 is even less impressive than the over-hyped feats of the Bjornssons or Fronings of the world.

The 620 was at 175
Oh absolutely. My post was just pointing out that the internet lifting forums have a way of attracting people who can’t seem to resist the urge to share their baseless, valueless thoughts on objectively elite athletic feats.

Still awesome.
My point exactly. It is why instagram is completely polluted by ATG squatters and sumo is cheating preachers.
Just about spit out my water. Good shit.

Incredible dude. And your triceps are looking huge.
Quick question, and anyone else on here can answer…
Did you wait until your lifts reached a certain point before you started doing conjugate? My thoughts, could be wrong, are that a 300lb squatter or 400lb puller may not get enough stimulus from the once weekly max day?
Anyways. good stuff. Really good.
I started conjugate training 4 months ago.
I don’t think it matters what poundage you’re lifting. What does matter is:
A. Your technique needs to be very, very consistent because you’re using variations and not the lifts themselves. Once your technique is consistent to the degree that you don’t need to think about positioning, you’re ready IMO.
I competed before for 17 years and came back after a looong layoff so even though my poundages are lower than they were, my technique was fairly solid. Even so I began coming back two years ago and didn’t begin conjugate until I felt my form was spot on.
B. You have to have developed a feel for what your body is doing and what your weaknesses are, and how you respond to different exercises. This takes a fair amount of time. Get a strong base of strength and expertise before messing with conjugate. It can be complicated. Shit, it took me three months of reading to sort through all of Louie’s info. He’s not the clearest communicator but he’s a brilliant coach.
I did technically but only because I never actually ran any kind of program before
Absolutely astounding! Congratulations on your success!
