As I contemplate switching my pulling style in the near future (for a myriad of reasons) I thought this was a good video.

I've never pulled sumo, but after watching this video I decided what the hell I'll give it a go. Bested my PR by 25lbs the first day! And best part is, it kept my back perfectly straight, whereas I have a tendency to round a little bit when conventional on the heaviest of pulls. So basically, fuk yeah!!

LOL damn I thought this thread died before it ever started. I think I might switch at some point as well. I will at least work it in my training later on as lift variation.

Good to hear you bested a PR man! Good stuff.
