 Ladies and gentlemen, it's silent Mike welcome back to fix your form where I take your form and I coach you through some lifts If you guys are new be sure to smash that thumbs up if you enjoy this type of content and subscribe today We got that make-and-love Cheater sumo edition working on everybody's sumo's pose. Let's see what we got here Not bad not bad my friend see everything is really solid he gets a slack out of the bar He's flexing those lats he's flexing his back one thing I suggest for most people is not to always but for most cases if we can get those knees Over our mid foot. You can see they're inside of his foot right now We're gonna be a lot stronger One will be able to flex our quads a little bit better to it will put us in a more optimal position to get our hips in The proper position and get our torso a little bit more upright now Some people can get away with a wider stance and knees slightly inside of their foot But I think for the majority of people this could be more optimal So my man what two things I would try one you could try pushing your toes out a little bit more or excuse me pointing them out a little bit more and Really forcing those knees out either way another thing I would do is literally just move each foot in I Don't know maybe two inches or so from where you are and then continue to force those knees out as You tighten up that low back as you flex those lats as you drop your hips and really fire and push from there You know something that's helped tons of sumo pollers myself included Is just general quad strength because once you get in the right position you're in a pretty dang good position my friend I just think you'll be in a slightly. Oh, just drop the tripod You'll be in a slightly better position if you can get those knees out a little bit more overall though I'd say your form is really really good and again to continue to build your sumo pole Sumo pulling has got to be number one number two is general back strength and number three is quad strength in no particular order But building up those quads pulling up those back will help a lot You can continue to work on flexing those lats. You are tighten up your back pretty well One thing when you're using straps or hook grip It's very easy to really get some twerk in those shoulders and I try to get my elbows pointing backwards Bending that barbell similar to a bench press Another extra cue or way to flex those lats, but overall your starting position is really really really good If I do say so myself so continue pushing I try to experiment, you know a week or two with all the adjustments I give everybody give them at least two weeks a couple of sessions It's not always just going to click and feel better or lift more weight But over time it might help pull in the slack out. We got a little deadlift bar action We're going extra cheater and boy a do I love it If grip is not an issue my man first thing I do is move that grip in just a hair You can see it's just outside of your shoulders and with the sumo pole if possible Because sometimes you will have some fingers on the smooth which doesn't affect many people even I mean myself and I I put One finger on to the smooth part The straight of the line the better Otherwise from this position that angle was a little weird I'm not bad. All right, I was gonna say you can't see much from that angle But this angle itself is really really solid my friend, especially those Reps two and three reps number one you get a little bit out of position your hips are a hair low You can see that bar get pushed forward by your knees So make sure you're trying to keep those shins vertical And also make sure that there's tension in your hamstrings when you're dropping your hips You don't want to just drop your hips for no reason what we're trying to do is teeter-totter our weight backwards as we pull our torso up We're gonna a lot of get some opposed this man strong this man strong Overall really solid right there if I could see a better back position looks like a back might be a hair rounded It looked like you might just be rushing that start a bit But overall really really good we've got 585 on there is that 70% you beast Little hook grip action he pulls a slack out really really well It looks like we might be able to get that back a hair flatter And so sometimes a mist used or a quote-unquote bad cue I don't believe there's bad cues just bad application But a cue that a lot of people say is get your hips close to the bar For a sumo pole and what people tend to do when they do that is curl their hips underneath them and literally try to get their Hips close to a bar But we only want to get our hips close to the bar if we can remain a neutral or flat flexed back Otherwise what we do is we get that you know curled lower back And it's going to maybe make our speed off the floor a little bit faster because where you can flex everything and just crank on it But it's gonna make our lockout nearly impossible near 85 90 95 percent And that's what it looks like you're doing right now my man. So what I would try to do is even right here Is your a little too? Flexed in that low back. We need to get it into some extension Overall really really really solid so two things I'll try to do is one I would try to focus on that pelvic control you hear me ladies pelvic control And I'll try to push those hips back a little bit getting that spine a little bit flatter And number two is I'll try move your eyes and neckline up to the horizon Now neutral spine I think is is generally the goal, but people may be overdo it Yes, so we can see this curvature in the spine even on setup And what we want to do is be able to have hips a hair higher Not curled underneath you like so and it's gonna make your lockout and your maximal loads The same speed as your speed off the ground You're really strong you're really explosive and and you're 90 percent there But what we need to do it's a vital for you to pull the biggest weight you're possible of my friend Is to get that low back out of flexion because right there once you get past your knees all you're doing is a curled not good levered Underload back extension dropped another tripod you guys like why does he have two tripods? I don't know, but they're both underneath my foots for some reason. I dropped them kick them both Crotacate yeah Because once you get that thing Flexed and you're back in the right position then all we have to do is hip extension and push our hips towards the bar Which is a cue people often use and it'll be so much easier under max load. So my man Let's focus on kind of a slower eccentric not To control because you don't want to get injured but that ed cone style until you can get that back flat Lower the weight to the ground with that flat back and then get some reps that way I have multiple videos on what I call the ed cone style deadlift Something I noticed how he pulled that puts them into a better and better position building a better habit over time And I think you're gonna have a monster pole PR coming once you do that We just got to get that low back in a better position But overall my man really really good pole really strong really explosive and you're just missing that last 5% to make you Unstoppable shout out to eight man strong in the background good guys. I'm not sponsored But those guys have always been good people to me. This is the the pole. I've been waiting for so here We have someone that has no clue what they're fucking doing. They seem like maybe a conventional polar and it seems like they're trying to do a shoulder bicep and Deadlift routine at the same time which I actually you know, I am a fan of the full-body workout So if you can grow luscious hair like this gentleman if you can grow a successful highly entertaining highly educational YouTube channel like this individual and still Sumo pole like an idiot Props to you my hat is off to you for those that don't know I am joking This is my homie the one and only Alan through all untamed strength shout out to him for everything He does for the industry for the sport and for myself allowing me to Film and dick around in his gym all the time and shout out to my girl polka in the background another sumo polar Overall really good my man. That looked really solid. What else we got? So you're getting a little bit wobbly. It looks like you don't really know The position of where you want your hips to be. I actually think that we featured you Do you get a double feature? What is this Saturday night driving the double feature? X-men and X-men to I think that we've already featured you homie and my main critique is that when you get locked in Your form is really really really good But the inconsistency in reps is slightly alarming We want to be able to train every rep every set and Make them look as identical as possible So then when we do go for that wonder at max will be more in the zone But when you get locked in you're pulling that bar into your body your shins are vertical your hips are in the right place You're pulling really really well. So there's multiple things you can do one for you my friend I might ditch the straps and try to work on that grip to I would try to do a full Repeat rep. So if you have a set of three, you're gonna set up. You're gonna pull it You're gonna let the bar down. You're gonna take a half step back You're gonna stand up you're gonna take a half step forward almost like a dosy dough and you're gonna redo a rep Rinse and repeat So you're gonna step up to the bar do your routine pull the barbell drop the barbell Take one step backwards one step back forward and do your second rep and if you have a set of five You're gonna do it that same way if powerlifting is your goal if one rep max is your goal We have to make our setup and we have to make our form and technique repeatable. That's gonna be a one in training So in training we're trying to build volume. We're trying to build strength, but we really need that repeatable Efficient technique more sumo in the garage shout out to the washer and dryer These have been known to radiate strength to many a folk on YouTube over the time Overall really really solid man really solid We'll see if we got a side angle what I would say is again with the sumo pull as straight as we can get our arms One it's gonna get out of the way of our thighs to it's gonna make that range of motion The most efficient possible. So if you can move that grip and adjust a hair, you'll probably be better off You do have some adjustment with that barbell It looks like maybe your knees are pushing forward a little bit and some people can't get away with that I don't think it's a big issue for you as long as you can really lock those lots in and make sure that the Barbell does not move forward first thing when you're pulling off the ground and that the barbell does not move forward anywhere when you're near your knees any Deviation from a straight barb straighter path or even a slightly backwards path on the sumo deadlifts can be extremely Detrimental under max loads so that barbell starts to sneak away with from you and conventional You can definitely miss a lift put a little extra pressure on your back But it tends to be that people can kind of muscle through it and lean back and get into it on the sumo deadlift because balance is more of a factor Bar path is gonna be even more of a factor And that's why people say the sumo deadlift is more technical than the conventional deadlift with which you can make a million arguments If you want, but I think the technicality There's just a couple fine points and balance is a bigger deal when it comes to the sumo deadlift I appreciate everybody for all the support New videos Tuesday Thursday Saturday Sunday Salam I'd be sure to subscribe a thumbs up I'll catch you guys the next one be sure to follow me Instagram Salam Mike 2k's Twitter Salam Mike 2k's I'm out of here.
