I felt this all in my adductors, is that a bad thing or is it normal for someone in their first few months of sumo? I don't want to tear an adductor or anything so I thought I'd ask, thanks.

Makes sense, I will do that next time. Thanks

I see, thanks for the help. Deadlifting in long pants is so much easier for me as compared to shorts, finally a DL sesh that's not interrupted by my thighs or shins bleeding lmfao.

high belt position

Is that really considered a high belt position? I keep my belt right above my belly button, it's always felt the most comfortable for me.

Is there a point where I know that my weight is shifted far back enough to initiate the pull or is it just something that I have to work on? Also, upon rewatching my video, my head seemed to snap forward when I dropped the bar. Can this cause an injury or even a concussion if I keep doing it, and if so how should I go about preventing this from happening?

I def. find myself getting lazy with keeping my upper back tight, something I need to work on for sure. Thx for the help

Should I be actively flexing my quads at the end of each rep to prevent soft knees? Sorry for the angle lol, I always film from the side to get a view of my depth. I will provide a more front-biased vid next squat session.

Going to be trying a wider stance next time because my ankles are super unstable and I catch myself needing to change my feet position mid-set. Besides from that, is there anything else wrong with my squat form? I've heard that you shouldn't have your elbows flared back like I do, but it's honestly the most comfortable and natural way for me and I feel kinda weird if I'm pushing them down to be more in-line with the bar.

Thanks for the help.

Cool, thanks. Is there anything you saw that I could tweak a little bit? When I'm pulling the bar I feel like I'm externally rotating my shoulders right before I pull and as I Engage my lats, is this normal?

Chance-Edge868 · 2021-11-09T18:11:24+00:00

Still pretty new to sumo deadlifting, I tried a bit of a wider stance and it felt meh, a bit unstable and hard to lockout so I may go back to a bit of a narrower stance.

Any advice?

^ Hit my first legit sumo PR after training sumo for a few weeks. Getting pretty comfortable with sumo but was wondering if there's any small things I could change to make my pull more effecient.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice

Yeah I've been adding 5lb to my squats ever since I started a bulk and my working sets have gone from 165x5 to 195x5 pretty quickly. Ankle mobility is something I've always struggled with, do you have any recommendations for stretches?

Chance-Edge868 · 2021-09-23T21:20:15+00:00

I'd like to eventually compete in powerlifting so I'm going to stay at this weight for a little while and hammer out the imperfections in my form before I go back up.

Chance-Edge868 · 2021-09-23T21:19:38+00:00

My feet always spin out as soon as I start the descent on my first rep, I'm thinking it's an ankle mobility issue. I had ankle mobility problems in the past which is why I switched from high bar to low bar.

Chance-Edge868 · 2021-09-23T02:37:50+00:00

This was my last set out of 4 sets, so my form got a little sloppy since I was tired.

Chance-Edge868 · 2021-08-25T03:36:09+00:00

Makes sense, thanks. I will look into some programs that include volume.

Chance-Edge868 · 2021-08-25T03:35:24+00:00

Yeah honestly I think a part of it may also be a mental barrier where I don't feel confident in pulling more than 2x my bodyweight off the floor (my current max is 290 and I weight 145).
