Can you recommend issues of Powerlifting USA dealing with Sumo Deadlift technique and deadlifting in general? Especially issues dealing with the deadlifts of Lamar Gant, Veli Kumpuniemi, Jarmo Virtanen and Ed Coan?
If you want to deadlift like Lamar Gant you’ll probably need to find someway to extend your arms by about 12 inches.
If you wanna deadlift Ed Coan you need to figure out how to be that one guy that comes along every couple of generations!!

Marc Bartley has written some good stuff on EliteFTS about it. It can be hard to find good info. I’ve done a bit of research during my transition from conventional to sumo, so I’ve read quite alot. If you’ve anything specific I might be able to point you towards a better source…
Also, if you’re trying to improve your sumo, then get some vids up.
