Icecold/Dom/Other powerlifting folks, whats your opinion on conventional/sumo deadlifts? I've plateud for a long time on conventional and thinking of changing to sumo. This is mainly down to my t-rex arms and long legs, I'm in a real deep position at the bottom of a normal dead it almost feels like a deficit deadlift.

I think with the goblets I am going all the way down - but it gets a real struggle to get back up again on the last few reps of each set.
Legs really hurt today and squat legs get worse for me as the day goes on!

You mean you don't have ketchup with yours?!
Hell no! Any condiment on a steak is scareligious!!!!!
Arrggh, stupid MP bag split at the top today.
Don't have any tub to put it in to either
Sad times eh?
I had to explain what my foam roller and lacrosse balls did the other day
Owned.
Steak = Win
Beans = Win

And for a 'cheat' meal that's hardly pants!

haha totally agreed, i think you missed the sarcasm in my post
love the taste of the steak on its own, never have it with any sauce, even when i go to a restaurant i ask for the sauce to be put in a side dish so i can still have the sauce but keep it off the steak

Indeed Devlis,
Steak = Win
Beans = Win
Hence i had both for my dinner last night, everyone is just assuming i ate them together.
When i have steak i only have mouthfuls of the steak on its own and really enjoy the meat
Just cause there on the same plate doesnt mean they are in my mouth at the same time..

Um? 5'10 on a good day!
It's happened to me as well, on 3 bags so far.
The zip lock bit tears off the inside of the bag, meaning the ziplock is still "closed" as in stuck to each other but it's ripped off the bag leaving it open.
Happened to my whey and taurine, and now happening to my oats.
I threw the whey into an old tub and the taurine into a pasta tub, no place to put the oats though
Ta. Just ordering the coffin

Aye, same mate.
May have to order some tubs off MO...that or check tesco
Take a video from the side so that you can KNOW. I've been suggesting this to you for weeks
Every rep has to go to parallel, otherwise you haven't completed the set.
Those are extremely risky!My new favourite shoulder exercise: Z Presses.
If they are good enough for the strongest shoulders in the world then they are good enough for me!
With a Oly bar, axle or log, its pure shoulders
1) Your arse is not designed to be a load bearing surface.
2) If you can't get 90 degrees of hip flexion then you're going to be rounding your lower back at lockout. Some people on Sugden were posting about this exercise bothering their backs, this is why.
3) At no point do you ever put something over your head in strongman without having to use your legs for support, so this exercise is an accessory movement. You're left with a lot of risk for something that has quite an isolated benefit to your main lift.
I don't want you to break!
Try it, but you might find your short arms limit you with sumo too. You also have to have really good adductor flexibility to get down into the start position. Be really careful to ensure a stable lumbar (get a video or have someone watch, at the very least check in a mirror on light sets) because there is a good chance of putting your back into a bad position.
However, we should also be looking at why your conventional deads are stagnating. How have you been training them?
