On a more serial note, with you being the technical guru, what do you feel is the most important technical aspect of sumo pulling? I’m giving sumo a shot and am actually liking it, so would love to get some advices from you.

I know, I’m just busting your chops buggy poo
Although I did feel terrible for not seeing you and Cam on his last day in Boston, I got kidnapped by my lifting partners (literally) to go get sushi after we were done training that Friday night
My goal is to be the ruggedly bear approachable version of Bug

I also am a Jeremy Frey fanboy, and I think he has the perfect Sumo technique
There’s me 6:20 in with my Sumo if you want to compare
Thanks! Those are some mighty pretty looking pulls.

Yeah, to me those are ideal pulls
I also read his log to get a feel for his interpretation of the Block Concept, I think we both have different ways of doing it, but I still enjoy how he sets up his training.

Week 5, Transmutation Phase
Day 1
Body-weight: 215lbs
Training Maxes
Deadlift - 648.75
Bench Press - 423.75
78% 3x4 510lbs
83% 2x4 535lbs
70% 3x3 300lbs
3… Block Pull, Beltless -
78% 2x3 510lbs
No videos today unfortunately because my training partners have a meet today, which I’m about to leave my house for. Everything felt good, despite the fact that I absolutely HATE reps on the deadlift, but oh well, it’ll be good for me. Bench was extremely easy, which even with the pause was still “play toy weight” I’m already excited for the next session.

Thanks for stopping by man, I appreciate it greatly
On training related news, my lower back, glutes, and hamstrings are DESTROYED
Don’t let the seemingly low volume fool you, this is still a lot of work.
Amazed you get so many questions about how to set my training cycles up when you put the percentages AND the maxes you’re basing training weights off of up there.
Where’s the transmutation weirdness???

I think it’s because the actual lifting set up is weird
Not many people would write something like this from scratch
Competition Deadlift
Bench Variation
Deadlift variation
especially when the only training plan that is similar is Sheiko, but not many people have ever heard of it, or don’t think it works in whatever shape or form.
Then the rep/set schemes are not straightforward either. So I can see why.
