    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH... didn't realize the pause was intentional. Now I have research to do, as I'm much stronger at lockout than off the floor.

    Depends on how much you care about upping your DL. You'll get higher numbers if you do it on back day, but leg workout will suffer. You'll get lower numbers if you do it in leg day.

    Agree that this doesn't look like sumo. When I lift sumo, my heels are each about 6-8 inches wider than the outsides of my hands in the bottom position. Other poster is also correct that your spine...
