And what's wrong with that exactly????Nah I don’t have a different belt, shoes, shirt, socks, leggings, wraps, straps, and clips for each lift. I’d need a rolling duffel…

You can do GPP work with a rolling duffel tho. It's like a sled drag variation.Nah I don’t have a different belt, shoes, shirt, socks, leggings, wraps, straps, and clips for each lift. I’d need a rolling duffel…

Hey have you ever had any luck with those on line max 1rm calculators? Today's workout (link below) had me finish with 3+ x 275, and I hit 8. Might have had 2 more in the tank, but I had 5 sets of 10 @ 165 to finish it out and had to save something for that.Hehe the old dinging the head on the bench.
Classic
In general, it depends on the person and the more reps the less accurate they are.Hey have you ever had any luck with those on line max 1rm calculators?

8 @ 275 puts me at 350 max... I've only ever maxed at 325, but that was after working out the day before. I'm waiting to max until after my deload week, just curious if maybe you've used one if they seem accurate.

Sumo is legal. In my opinion it requires more flexibility to get into than conventional. Avoiding conventional because you haven’t learned the movement is different than picking sumo to be more competitive.OK, so let me get your takes on Sumo lifting. It seems there is a big kabub and hallabaloo about it in one facebook group I follow. I haven't tried it yet, because I try to follow standard/conventional lifting. Is this allowed in competition? If so, I wonder if this would be a better way for me to deadlift, or should I keep with conventional and grind away until I I get my positioning down?
Not that i am comparing myself to Eddie Hall, because I'm not, but if he can deadlift at his size he was when he broke 500kg, I should be able to get in position and deadlift these lighter weights as well. I just feel so dang awkward trying to get in position..
That actually can get annoying. For a while I was squatting in Oly lifting shoes, then Converse Allstars for Bench, and socks or minimalist shoes for deadlifting. I'm back to squatting and BP in Allstars so only one footwear change. Oh, fashion ....Nah I don’t have a different belt, shoes, shirt, socks, leggings, wraps, straps, and clips for each lift.

All Star Gang for the win imo. Whoop whoopThat actually can get annoying. For a while I was squatting in Oly lifting shoes, then Converse Allstars for Bench, and socks or minimalist shoes for deadlifting. I'm back to squatting and BP in Allstars so only one footwear change. Oh, fashion ....
-S-
The Allstars are in lieu of blocks under my feet - I don't need a lot and the Allstars are just the right size.All Star Gang for the win imo. Whoop whoop
I think learning conventional is easier, and a lot of what goes into conventional also goes into sumo. I'm not anti-sumo.Believe it or not I'm pretty darn flexible. I can stretch down straight leg with feet together and get my palms almost flat on the ground.
and to be clear, it sounds like you are saying I should learn the movement first(conventional) before picking up sumo?
@John KForm advice on my deadlift? Struggled with the form. Weight seemed pretty easy, definitely had 5-10 more reps of 325 in me, but I can't get the right position I feel... advice?
