Yeah, don’t quit. I strongly suspect that sumo will work out for you.

Right now my meet lifts are looking like 215, 230, 250 for bench.
I think Rippetoe heard about your plight, and wrote an article specifically to help you out.
(don’t listen to his squat form advice though…)

Yeah I read that, I’m going to give his advice a try but I’m also going to give sumo a ride. I’d just like to do something right every now and again.
The way 245 went up, I’d go for broke on your 3rd attempt!
Aw Joe! Anyways, I don’t believe a word of it when you say “giving up” - you’d be hankering for the bar in weeks. And FTR, sumo is where its at!
245 looked easy!
Dude, don’t give up the deadlift. My deadlift is awful.
Maybe we can hold hands and help each other through this (totally homo intended).
The 245 look way easy. And it looks like you found a halfway decent spotter.
What everyone else said. The 245 was no problem. Looking good, Joe.
Joe, that was a great bench! Nicely done. If even one lift out of all of them is going good, then we both should be able to withstand the pain of fixing form issues on the other lifts. Right?
^^ What Skip says. Great lifting Joe! The meet will go great!
Yeah i know guys, I’m not giving up I was just having a tantrum.

Yeah both my meet lifts were high. I had a bit of a hard time staying focused today. For the next two weeks I’m going to foccus on getting my meet lifts down and then I’m going to reset 5/3/1 and switch to sumo. I’m going to be pretty conservative with my estimates thsi time and hopefully it will let me run for a long time.

1x255* sorry about the retards next to me.
I call both lifts good.
Agreed. Clearly hit depth and more on each.
I third the motion! you hit good depth on both. Keep working those weights and you’ll do fine at the meet
I say depth is ok.
Nice bench.
and your brotards are pretty damn funny.
nice work Joe.
I say depth is good on the first, borderline on the second. I’m not a ref though and I was distracted by the idiots.
I enjoyed the opportunity to seem up some random guys rectum while you squatted though. He is totally a Spartan now.
How much longer till the meet?
I can see you getting much bigger on bench before too long. There’s a lot more there once you dial in form a bit more.
Nice lifts.
The other guy’s retardedness MAKES YOU STRONGER!
Great squats Joe. You’re really making progress depth wise and I think your sumo DL looked so much better than your conventional. If I were you, I’d stick with the sumo.
x2 ^^^^^ Listen to this guy he sounds really wise.
(Damn, my first double post)
