There's a guy I follow on insta who puts up some big sumo lifts, he's giving me a bit of sumo coaching and was the one who recommended focusing on the initial movement being driving with the hips instead of the knees.

Got a physio appointment tomorrow to look at my left shoulder/rotator cuff. Just wanted to put my shoulder through its paces and see if there were any issues. Got some slight pec tightness but other than that pretty good I think.

I’m still not dropping my balls on the bar but like I said this technique feels strong as ****. Gonna push my 1RM in the next week or so to see how it feels with heavier weight.

Been watching this watching and rewatching this video whilst comparing it to some heavy duty sumo lifters. I definitely feel like I need to bring my hips lower at the start of the lift plus have the initial movement of the lift be drive up from my chest instead of from my knees.
I’m feeling good about my next session though.

this is the energy I'm bringing to my next sumo session

Felt really good going into the gym today and thought I was a chance to not only match but outlift my numbers from 7th August’s heavy bench session. It wasn’t to be, left should/pec still misbehaving slightly and I guess I’m still rebuilding strength a bit from the weekend’s gastro episode. Pretty good workout all things considered.
