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.

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

Comp Bench:
137.5x1@8.5
110x8@7.5, distracted by phone call

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

LP marches on

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

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.

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

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

BW: ???, girlfriend doesn’t have a scale which somehow blows my mind
Snatchgrip RDL:
130x7x3 @ about right
DB SLDL: fuck this
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

127.5x4@6-6.5
130x4@7
132.5x4@7.5
135x4@7.5-8, practically TnG to be honest
All-time e1RM PR but pauses weren’t legit like at all lol
30-45deg Incline DBBP: In lbs
70x10x2@6-7
70s x 14 @ 9.5
Facepull:
70x15 @ too easy
80x15 @ about right
80x15 @ right
Good session. Need to clean up bench form.
