Since this is a deadlifting thread, this is the most impressive deadlift video I've seen...
Deadlifts don't love me, Shug. It's my worst lift. That aside, my love/hate for deadlifts doesn't have much bearing on my opinion of this article.
BTW, I deadlifted with chains last night. Thought you might appreciate that.
I think it's lazy when the information is presented clearly and logically... not so much when it's a kind of haphazard collection of advice.
You can also minimize it by limiting the scope of the discussion a bit. There's information in the article about raw, equipped, sumo, conventional... all mixed together. Even if it was curated and presented separately, that would be better.
As I said above, it could be presented better.

Anew World Record!! Sumo haters get your Kleenex ready...
Was this the same guy that got the no lift and passed out afterwards?
Some good info here. Ben also confirms what I have said about the opposite style helping the other. The naysayers here have said I was wrong. Lol...
I will have to watch the video, but in a different video for JTS, Chad mentions that he programs a lot of conventional pulling for his sumo lifters, especially when they are pretty far out from the meet. He thinks the conventional deadlift builds more muscle mass, etc. But if you flip it around, he doesn't think that conventional pullers get much out of pulling sumo, except for maybe a little exercise variation.
I just might have to pull a new Sumo PR tomorrow.
