I don’t care what anybody says that sumo dead lift is a different lift. The range of movement is ridiculously small. I’m not saying they’re not strong, but I’m saying it’s a different lift to me. I do with the glasses is lifting the bar like 8 inches when when John is lifting it it’s gotta go a couple of feet.
I agree that it's a different lift though it's still very funny how much people overestimate how much easier sumo is it really isnt more than 30kg added even if you have good leverages for it. Obivously with this crazy bendy bar there is a bigger difference though remember that this bar is not gonna be used at any real powerlifting meet
@@razygdashlifters like Tyson ridenour can pull over 1000 lb sumo but can't even get 700 off the floor conventional. That's a difference of over 300 lb - 140 kg.

So glad to see everybody telling it like it is in the comments! Dude in the brown t-shirt does not belong in the same category as John Haack in a million years. That's not a lift, that is NOT a lift, that is a short lever with the weight on his hands, knees are basically locked out when the weight leaves the floor.
Great to see lifters helping lifters/friends. My wife had cancer/chemo (remission now) and the folks that came out of nowhere to help was mind blowing. You will never know how much this means to folks going through tough times.
@@dantethunderstone2118 The guy that looked like Seth Rogen barely lifted off the ground. But its still impressive to move that much weight. I'm not hating on anyone.
At this point, I'm just going to learn the splits and break the world record... Maybe then the rules will change. Maybe I missed it, but i didnt see anything stating the weight must leave the ground. It only talks about being locked out. So just spread those legs and lock out fully.
Now that's impressive. That's like a conventional ROM. Props to him, unlike the other guys who lifted literally 8 inches, cuz the bar bends at the start without having to lift it.
Yeah, I guess I am a little old BUT watching some of these Sumo pulls is painful. With a whippy bar these guys can lock out with plates still touching the ground.
Condolences to Panda and his family man 😢. Wish I could have attended and donated. Awesome he’s still able to lift and still have fun with everyone knowing the circumstances.
try louis cyr of canada feats of strength. louis cyr is still the strongest freak over all in the past 130 years. he did a mini deadlift. just a few inches off the ground of 1897lbs.
Not usually one to hate on sumo cuz who fucking cates, but one of the guys literally set up an 8in ROM bounce rep without hitting the single before bouncing… he pulled it 3 inches, bounced it, pulled the slack out again, and then pulled it, used the whip at his knees to fly to lockout, not even a look at holding at the top, just straight back down… you could justify in training as a method of overload maybe, but let’s hope this isn’t on his IG as a pr 💀
What’s the best thing to do for avoiding continual pec strains? my pec seems to knot up when I bring the weight down so when I push back up I rack and take time off but it’s frustrating as fuck!
I get the people clowning on sumo here, but yall need to remember its part of the sport. Even if you consider it a different lift from conventional, which I do as well, it doesn't change the fact that it's part of powerlifting and it's not the lifter's fault they're taking every competitive advantage they legally can.
I still blame lifters. There is a thing called integrity in sport. It’s like bush league baseball. Is it allowed? Yes. But it should be severely frowned upon.
@patthiccybro how much is your conventional deadlift when I did a 675 conventional deadlift I was only able to do a 500 sumo deadlift around that time period. I don’t train sumo though that was just randomly to see what it would be.
I’m not a fan of sumo but it is legal in power lifting-and anyone attempting 1,000lbs then move it is super strong -I still believe a sumo lift should never be able to break a conventional record as they are not the same-I have yet to see a conventional deadlifter switch to sumo and not add a lot of pounds to their total
thats ridiculous. its all leverages and body anatomy. some people are built for sumo and some for conventional. a lot of very tall and heavy lifters would struggle to lift 75% of their conventional pull on sumo, no matter how much they trained it. as soon as plates are loaded on a stiff bar the playing fields get levelled, its deadlift bars that make these hyper upright no ROM pulls possible and I wish more federations would move away from them. after all, is it really a "dead"lift if the bar is already moving before the pull?
Literally all the best conventional pullers in the world are the perfect example for you, none of them would gain anything from sumo, in fact they are weaker with it. Eddie Hall has stated many times that he wouldn’t even budge 500kg off the ground with sumo. Larry wheels failed a 765 sumo deadlift after pulling 900 conventional, John Haack (the conventional pulled in the video) has said he pull with conventional because he is weaker with sumo. The reality is that people pull what their bone structure and leverages allow, there’s no ultimate technique that’s the best. There’s a reason only 50% of powerlifters do sumo, even at the elite level where they would do ANYTHING to win.
My nuanced take: Sumo without straps is valid. Sumo with straps is not valid. Sumo on a Texas deadlift bar is valid. Sumo on a kabuki bar is not valid.
@@dantethunderstone2118 silly argument. Powerlifters need to train their grip in a very specific way for holding barbells in order to prepare for deadlifting without straps (also, John uses mixed grip for deadlifts). Bodybuilders don't, so they can use straps without a detriment to the ultimate goal (gaining mass). Bodybuilders usually also do more reps, straining their grip endurance more.
@@TheJipino it was more of a satirical comment about the tiktok bodybuilders who seem to think it’s impossible to train back without straps and everyone should use them regardless of if they’re training for hypertrophy I’ve never used straps for training back and haven’t had a problem, my back bigger and grip is stronger than any of my friends that use straps
I really hate how Social media made idiots follow powerlifting, I miss 2000 and 2010 when I was a kid and I could watch reclusive guys and Russians lift incredible weights
I don’t care. 2 guys do say 700. One conventional and one sumo. I think the first guys stronger. And whether you say it or not when someone does a lot dump you always thing “yeah BUT”.
There are 3 things I don’t find impressive in powerlifting, and never will. -sumo -juicers -400lb overweight dudes thinking lifting 200lb over their bw is impressive
I know this is for fun. But I feel the lifts should be standardized. There are participants doing powerlifting grips, such as mixed and sumo and the strongman way with double over and straps or sometimes hook grip. And then there are those that are using straps and sumo or mixed, which makes no sense to me. And then there's the guy using the figure 8 straps, which does reduce range of motion. Just too much of a potpourri to take seriously.
Im convinced the people who hate on sumo for the rom advantage have never tried sumo because it is infinitely harder off the floor then conventional, requires mobility and levers most people don't have and targets smaller muscle groups. That being said strong sumo pullers are usually pretty strong conv pullers but almost never the other way around.
no, it’s easier. when my 1RM was a beltless and strapless 695 i had never attempted sumo before. i was messing around one day and after a whole squat routine i pulled 675 sumo without knowing the form other than seeing videos of it and i almost completely locked out. it’s not a coincidence that i could almost tie my conventional PR doing sumo for my first time. i have the videos on my IG

Sumo on a bendy bar equals zero ROM
Sumo just needs to be its own category, it is not the same as conventional.

what do you mean by "sumo dude" ?

4:55 that knee is terrifying

Yea he didn’t quite lock out the 1000lbs
It's kinda cute seeing that in 2024 there are still people triggered about sumo, as if ROM is what dictates max strength 😂
18 Inch DL is more impressive than Sumo.
