drop your weight to 400lbs, take orthodox stance, and do 2 sets of 6-9 reps on a 5-6 inch platform, 400lbs will feel light at first, then week by week put 10-20lbs on the bar, get a 500lbs orthodox 6inch platform dealflift for reps, and your deadlifting in the 700's easy. I wouldn't want to think what you could sumo deadlift then,LoL.

good advice... my weakest point is right off the floor... I'll do that while off season in order to add some variety to my training...

Estás haciendo una especie de descanso pausa, no?

Qué tal te funciona ese método de altas repes y descanso pausa?

Haz probado las sentadillas a 20 repes con peso de 10 o 12 RM? (la idea es lograr 20 con descanso pausa con el peso de 10-12 RM).

estoy empezando a entrenar estilo west side barbell con las premisas de louie simmons... creo que es el mejor estilo de entrenamiento

@AusWeightLifter you r an idiot there are deadlift suits...they r used in equipped powerlifting

bueno!

sumo deadlift is for girls. Mens do traditional deadlift.

And the dudes like this that lift sumo deadlift are just pussys.

Probe i'm right:

1) traditional deadlifters can lift their max also doing sumo technique.

2) sumo deadlifter CANT lift their max using traditional deadlift, only in sumo deadlift.

taditional deadlift is better

[jiujitsuboy]

I agree, but you've got to remember this depends on body type, structure, mechanics and plain old preference

[Uchaaa]

What is your max now?

[freedomsoldier187]

not only is traditional proably more comfortable, but I reckon its harder, bar has to travel further, the further a bar travels the harder it is

[stickyman04]

if i were you i would put on about 595 or 610 and do 3x4 one week, 4x5 next week, 5x6 the next and you will be good

[AusWeightLifter]

With a lifting suit?! There is no suit that will aid a deadlift.

A belt and wraps will give some assistance, but a suit! There is no suit made, sold or invented that aids with the deadlift. Thus, why it is called 'The Ultimate Test In Strength'!

[potomacbrave88]

I've never been a fan of the sumo deadlifts; it just seemed too awkward of a stance to really get a good pull. (But that's just me.) The traditional stance was more comfortable and allowed me to drive the weight up through my heels, thus giving my back a better assist from my hams and quads.
