@Bookstop1337 For many, sumo deadlifting is more difficult because there is less torque on the bar and as a result it is more difficult to break it from the ground and to lock it out. My conventional deadlift trumps my sumo deadlift by around 90lbs.
Sumo deadlifting isn't as difficult because you have a wider base and a shorter distance to travel. It's fine if you do it, but I think he was only doing it in this video so he didn't tire himself out. A lot of lifters do that when they have to do multiple 1rms in meets.
I was there. This dude is legit. To the guy saying this deadlift was gay....This dude squatted 750 raw at this meet. He can pull just as much conventional as he can sumo (in fact most people can) but being that he squatted with a narrow stance Im guessing he did opposite stances to preserve strength.
