    Most great sumo pullers do this but I think it is a technique left-over from geared lifting. It does work and I feel like I get a stretch reflex from it but the dynamic nature of the movement increases your chances to have slight discrepancies in your starting position and also increases your chances to round your back more significantly if you're prone to that.

    BW: 172.2lbs

    Sumo /w OPB, Hook: in kg
    205x2@0, misload meant to do 210
    210x2@6ish
    215x2@6.5
    Alright very encouraging. Best set with an OPB for whatever that is worth. Still a good 25kg off of my best TPB e1RM. And more like 40-45kg off my best DL bar e1RM. My e1RM was over 650 on a deadlift bar at one point in time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

    Snatchgrip RDL: in kg
    120x8x3, ez enough
    Gotta up next time

    One Arm DB Row: in lbs
    100s x 10 x 3 @ a few sloppy reps at the end

    Underhand Pulldown:
    140x12
    150x12
    160x12@ sub 6
    I gas HARD on 15s so my 12s are disproportionately strong

    Comp Bench:
    120x5@6.5
    122.5x5@6.5-7
    125x5@8
    Was sooo uneven when I watched from the back. Need to address this as it is holding my bench back.

    TnG CGBP:
    107.5x6@6.25
    110x6@6.75
    112.5x6@7.25
    Less unevenness here. Still progressing faster on this than comp bench.

    Squat:
    85x6x3
    Mostly pain free but I have to be VERY careful to stay in proper groove

    Seated DB OHP:
    55s x 10 x 3 @8-9

    DB Hammer Curl:
    35s x 12 @7-8
    Best I've done on these in so long, maybe ever

    BW: 176.6lbs, getting to be a fatty again

    Comp Bench:
    137.5x1@8.5
    110x8@7.5, distracted by phone call
    110x8@6.5, way better focus here
    112.5x8@7.5, unevenness seeped back in
    Beat last week handily

    TnG CGBP:
    105x8@7.5
    105x8@7
    105x8@7.75
    Did not beat last week

    Squat:
    85x5, no pain
    95x5, tiny pain on rep 3-5
    105x4, 2/10 or 3/10 pain in rep 4 so abort
    Gonna LP from like 87.5 I guess

    BW: 174.8lbs

    Comp Squat:
    87.5x5x2, no pain in second set
    90x5, no pain
    LP marches on

    Comp Bench:
    122.5x4@6 or less
    125x4@6-6.5
    127.5x4@7
    130x4@7.5-8, misgrooved the last rep BAD
    Very close to PR territory

    Sumo /w OPB, all reps hooked:
    195x4@sub 6
    200x4@sub 6
    205x4@sub 6
    215x4@6ish, really wanna call @5.5
    Finally able to hook rep-sets. I guess my sumo is back. Fuck conventional

    Incline DBBP:
    70s x 10 @6.5
    70s x 10 @6-6.5
    70s x 10 @6
    70s x 10 @7
    So much better than last week

    Reverse Hyper:
    5 plates x 12 x 3
    Little too heavy probably

    DB Front Raise:
    25s x 10, too easy
    30s x 10, too hard
    25s x 10, stricter but still too easy

    Neutral Grip CSR:
    55x12
    57.5x12, too easy
    60x12, last rep got cheaty

    DB Hammer Curl:
    35s x 10 @6-7
    40s x 9 @9.5, had to try
    35s x 7 @9

    This session was roughly 4 hours long. That’s what happens when you have to combine sessions. I’m not training tomorrow.

    Comp Squat:
    92.5x5, pain free
    95x5, a little pain on some reps
    95x5, pain free

    Comp Bench:
    122.5x5@6-6.5
    125x5@6.5-7
    127.5x7@9.75
    Got very uneven due to rushing and overhyping before the set. As I result, I got progressively more uneven. On rep 7, my left arm was locked out a good second before my right. Super annoyed. 8 would’ve been a PR and very very close to an all time e1RM PR.

    TnG CGBP:
    112.5x6@7
    112.5x6@6.75
    115x6@7.25
    Better than last week which shows I wasn’t underrecovered and really fucked up my amrap on comp bench. *Angry react*

    Seated DB OHP:
    55s x 10 @ 7
    55s x 10 @ 7.5
    55s x 10 @ 8
    55s x 10 @ 8-8.5
    Big improvement here from last week

    DB Hammer Curl:
    40s x 10 @ 7
    40s x 10 @ 7.5
    40s x 10 @ 8-8.5
    PR I believe.

    Gonna campaign to get Joey to drop my deadlift frequency. That PR on Wednesday came on 5 days rest because I moved my Sat DL last week forward to Friday and had to push my Tues DL to Wed this week. Two extra days of rest and my DL e1RM went up 30kg. When I worked with Joe Sullivan, my deadlift went up 100lbs pulling once a week comp and then a light secondary pull on another day. Right now, I’m pulling twice a week and even without squats, my back is never ready even if my legs are.

    Cleangrip SLDL:
    125x6x3, way too easy but wrong exercise
    Lost a strap so I did this instead of SG RDL.

    One Arm DB Row:
    100x10x3, a bit too heavy

    Underhand Pulldown:
    170x12@6-7
    180x12@7
    190x12@8
    Annoying to do these when the stack weighs more than you

    Comp Squat:
    97.5x5, little pain
    97.5x5, pain free
    100x5, pain free
    Not sure why the first set is always problematic. Exaggerating knees out really helps for whatever reason

    Comp Bench:
    115x8@7.75
    117.5x8@7.5, 5kg over last week
    120x7@8.5, dunno what happened here

    Soft Touch CGBP:
    105x8@6-6.5
    107.5x8@6.5-7
    110x8@9.5
    Gassed out I guess

    DB Front Raise:
    20s x 15 x 3 @ about right

    80s x 12
    90s x 12
    100s x 12
    There’s nothing I hate more than DB leg work.

    Seated CSR:
    50 x 15, too easy
    100 x 15, too easy
    150 x 15, about right

    Widegrip Lat Pulldown:
    140x5, way too hard lol
    100x15, too easy
    110x15
    Different machine and bar than usual because I felt like mixing it up
