What do you mean by semi-sumo??? His knees were outside of his hands. What the heck is a semi-sumo deadlift???

Would that be the heaviest sumo pull? if not then what is? I know all the guys who have pulled over 900 have done it conventional.

I know. What I was wondering is that why would you call it “semi” sumo? Coan obviously did a sumo deadlift, was it “semi sumo”? I don’t know.
What the heck is “semi” about his sumo deadlift?

Didn’t search hard enough on youtube for the vid, his 901 was definitely full sumo. I’d seen him pull semi before so that’s why I said “I believe.”
Going on this I posted the above link:
ANYWAYS…
