Only Weak People Think Sumo Deadlifts Are Cheating

[bobbydigitaloa]

sumo deadlifts are cringy.

grown men looking like their giving birth with legs extremely spread wide open, 3 inch ROM, and putting all the pressure on your knee joint

goodnight sweet prince.

I'd better go hurt my back badly because a faceless kid online thinks I'll look funny doing it another way...

[WorldClassDBag]

lol at deadlifts ...

ok then

I think I'll continue to dislike sumo. If the title of the video is true then why do they care what weak people think? Why do they feel the need to convince people it's just as hard?

I think it's because people like to discredit sumo pullers. Which doesn't make any sense imo

Will never mire sumo deadlifts, I can't force myself to no matter how much you try persuade me.

Nothing will ever be as majestic and manly as watching a conventional deadlift

Exactly, the conventional deadlift is the apex of manliness. No sumo can compare.

All of that could be prevented with good form

Care to elaborate?

don't get me wrong I respect people who dl but i think for 90% of gym goers it's a massive waste of time and not at all worth the risk

I hate to agree with you but you're right. But I'm competing next year so this video was interesting

I have semi awkward proportions (super short, longer legs, shorter torso). Conventional DL looks like a half RDL for me. So I change it up a lot. 2/3 times I'd pull sumo. Just because it feels more natural, I'm also super flexible in my hamstrings so sumo helps make me feel like I'm actually extending my glutes and hamstrings properly. Still pull conventional sometimes just for more quads activation.

Same, sumo feels alot better than conventional.

[HashGraph]

I used to be really into pulling, actually reached 675, but now i'm like....lol@deadlifts

nobody cares except people in your own little circle of tards, it's like being the best in 'drifting' at need for speed, everyone except your little circle of dork friends are like 'wut.'

Anyway, you have to go with your strengths & weaknesses. If you have short arms and strong hamstrings, sumo....strong spinal erectors and long arms, conventional

It's just not for me man. Just looking at these vids I'm like nah fam, das not it mane. Don't fight so hard for our approval though, do you man.

I am also more of a fan of the deep squats over the 'barely' parallel ones.






Also I'm not a fan of powerlifters using a HUGE arch with tiny rom either. I still use an arch, but some people exaggerate it so much that it takes everything away from the lift

Oly lifting just seems more sensational to watch and has more functional benefits than powerlifting. Of course it's good to mix a bit of everything, I just find powerlifting has so many things I feel could be changed.

Only reason I started deadlifting was because I had absolutely 0 signs of traps, and all the miscers I looked up to at the time that had huge traps deadlifted heavy weight. I decided to throw them in my routine and got pretty good at them and just kept progressing. You're ultimately right though, it's not a 'necessary' lift.

Wow a well thought out argument on the misc. On r/c my dude.

And I agree with your points. I have a really small arch when benching, my bench width is pretty much close grip and I squat high bar

I pull sumo because it feels better on my back. Don't care either way.

sumo looks gay compared to an alpha chad conventional deadlift

And you obviously didn't read through the thread.

deadlifts as a whole aren't necessary for bodybuilding. only do them because I'm too lazy to do all of the other accessory excercises to make up for it

[Tal106]

Chit argument/10

You know that conventional looks way cooler and more alpha than sumo and are just denying it. Ask anyone which looks more alpha and they will say conventional (unless they're a ******* no rom sumo lifter themselves)

Well I'm not a bodybuilder but I agree

fukin A...I couldnt talk sh*T even if I tried. Someone come up outta no where and punch me in the taint if I were to start saying something. Most peoples opinions, especially here on the misc, will be wrong anyways.
