Re: Love2liftkat's training log

you never know you may be one of those freaks of nature that isnt built to pull sumo but can do so like a freak beast. i am more of a if it works and feels right then that's the direction i take it. i pull both myself haha

I hope so! That's the approach I take too! I've recently fallen in love with front squats! New favorite!

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

That's probably why I've pulled conventional then...my torso basically consist of ribs and hips. lol I enjoy the variety and learning though!

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

the sumo and convent arent decided by pref in power lifting it is by build. if you have super long arms and a short torso then convent is normally the way to go. if you have short arms and or a longer torso then you are normally more of a sumo dead person. now from most setup stand points the heal should fall on or outside the rings. almost in a split lol. i will get you the videos i promise but the sumo is super super wide and it takes a ton of hip strength and leg drive more so than the convent. and the convent is driven more off of back strength more so than leg and hip drive.

Thank you Guns! I'm glad you gave me those tips! I have done mostly con. deads, and SLDL's. I haven't studied the form on sumos though. I did have my feet just inside the outer rings but I could see going wider. I definitely need to work on flexibility too! lol

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

your a beast lady. couple of off the wall crititques that should drive your numbers up. remember knees out on sumo just like in squats. dont let them collapse in on you, you lose power and drive that way. 2- widen out your stance outside of shoulder width as well. that will give you more hip drive and also more weight and put you in a stronger position. i will see if i can dig up some good form videos. you should be cranking over 300 for singles no problem at all

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Hey hey everyone! Just dropping in. Finally worked up the nerve to video some of my deads today. I don't sumo much but today felt like a good day for them. I have also been doing front squats in place of some of my back squats. Worked up to a few sets of 115/120 yesterday. Today I focused mostly on deads as well as some pull-ups and other accessory work. Did sets of 5 up to 225 and then switched to singles. By the time I got to 255- I was SO close and just couldn't get it up the last bit. I know if I wouldn't have done so many working sets before hand, I would've gotten it. So here ya go. Sorry for the odd angle--oh, and I don't know how to make 1 video out of the 3. [emoji53]

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Food porn- lunch today was leftovers from Saturday night. Grilled chicken with lime/cilantro rice, and a black bean salsa with corn, roasted tomato, red bell pepper, and poblano peppers. I am bad about getting caught up cooking the same things over and over. This was a nice venture out of the box per say! I enjoyed it!



Breakfast was a shake and banana, snack was maybe a T of pb (busy morning), and dinner was a beef "stir fry" with sirloin, broccoli, and noodles.

Looks great
