Powerlifter problems iz real. I want to buy everything I see LOL
Good stuff ink, 6 weeks!!
Masch, I like that I can pull both too, I just with the numbers were a lot higher for both. I just need to give sumo more time and I can bring it up, I’m sure of it. I think there’s crossover one way, and not the other. At least, I think so. Not sure which one helps which though. Maybe doing both helps both, and it just seems like they help eachother? I dunno, don’t really care about the “how” as long as it works!
And thanks, Low energy bench was just because of the pulls before, and the 2442384234 sets of it. Gets old sometimes, but still yet to miss a rep.
Clax, damn right they’re real! Thanks dude, tick tock. Go get your meet numbers so I know what to shoot for, lol.
Not sure Ink, he looked like you avi when I asked “What # are you doing?”. His meet is in like 2.5 weeks so we’ll see what happens.
You’re still killing it I see.
In terms of Sumo vs conv, I read an article (I can’t find it-- pretty sure on EFS) that if your DL is stronger than your squat (figuratively not literally), work sumo (more carryover to squat) more than conv. If squat is greater than DL, and you’re more comfortable in conv, pull conv and work box squats into your regimen.
Food for thought I guess.
Thats interesting ddot, I am curious to read the article if you happen to find it.
DL’s from last night.
ddot, that’s really interesting actually. Your mission, not if you choose to accept it…it’s your mission, is to find that article. Makes sense, which means I DEF need to pull sumo for a long time, lol. Thanks man.
Last night, flyes 5x10, rack pulls 280x4/325x4x2/345x4 done conventional. Can’t sumo in the rack right, need a few more inches (LOL) more room in it to get my feet right. Oh well.
Squatz tonight.
nice triceps brah
Party rockin!
DLs looked secksi good.

HILARIOUS! Seriously. I’m fucking done dropping dime on PLing shit. If its not one thing its another!! And I just sprang for some in-person coaching - for pauses, cues, etc. FML.
Personally, I love being able to pull both conventional and sumo! But only because I think its nice to be a well-rounded lifter. And I was told by a reputable source that there’s not reason you can’t train both and excel at both (obviously for meets you’ll pick the one you’re better at or most comfortable with). I’m still figuring out which one is my medal-maker.
I wonder if there is any crossover pulling conventional and sumo? Like will pulling sumo help my conv, or v.v.? Hmm…
Sucks about the low energy bench, but all else is looking spectacular. Well done, Inky. Well done![/quote]
For me at least, conventional going up means my sumo is going up.
Sumo going up does not necessarily mean my conventional is going up.
Thanks Ct, and thank you MimZ! I’m tryin!!!
DF, What about sumo go up >>> squat go up? I mean, you squat a billion #'s already, but have you found that correlation between sumos/squats? Makes sense.

Hmm…honestly, I am not sure. I am just now really getting back to squatting, so I will keep you posted.
GVela (gabe) did good mornings 135 x 10 x 10 today. He also said something about “that jason is a bitch”
You cant let that go man.
Things are looking good in here Inky, though where’s the running? Aren’t you running these days?
DF cool, I’ll be on the lookout for your words of wisom in the future. And LOL @ gvela…did he shit his pants for 10x10 also? If he says no, he’s lying.
Patch, thanks, and there is no running yet. I’ll start that nonsense AFTER my meet. I got better things to do with my time, like eat and sleep. Don’t worry about me, when it comes down to it, I’ll be ready enough for the things I plan on running.
Did NOTHING yesterday, and it felt great. Looked ahead at this weeks lifts, and they’re going to be fucking hard. PR’s erryday.
To be continued
I’m too lazy to scroll back. What are the running things you got conned into?
Spent the w/e looking thru EFS but no luck. Article must’ve been somewhere else. Still looking. It was probably back in Nov '11 when I read it.
Mim, HI!
Patch, I haven’t mentioned them I don’t think, but another half marathon and a tough mudder. Come at me, bro
ddot, damnit, well thanks for checking. If you come across it again, let me know! Thanks
