    I like tempo’ing my light warmups to help grease that groove and promote positioning. Great vid!

    What about sumo deadlift on a skate with a saftey bar on top of my back (loaded with the same weight as the deadlift)?

    Thanks for the video! For some reason paused conventional worked really well for my sumo, but paused sumo messed my form. You explanation about 2 vs 3 segments of paused pull makes perfect sense!

    I've never had such a good sumo variation as low-ish sumo block pulls (about 4 inches or so). I had very bad lockout problems, just above the quads that paused sumo simply didn't fix and position error wasn't a problem. For example I had 1-day for paused and 1 day for comp sumo. Added about 30kg (compared to what I failed last block) to my sumo dl in 4 weeks of block pulling a heavy single + paused backdowns, after being stuck for a few months! However I do believe that was due to it fixing my lockout timing, which I do not know if some other variation could fix better!

    For me the best one is actually super low rack pulls (plates 2 in of the ground) conventional style. Basically a SLDL with the same ROM as the sumo. It really improves hinge mechanics and translates great into my sumo. Edit: scrolled through the video to see SLDL are the last one haha

    I really like snatch grip sumo stance deadlifts on 3-12 (i.e both heavy and lighter volume rep ranges)

    Hey Dave, couple questions on how you're approaching the SLDL: - It seems like your stance is a little wider than you've conventional deadlifted in the past. Is that just what feels comfortable for you now adays, or are you going a bit wider than you would for a regular conventional? - It looked like the footage around 20:30 was real training for you and not a demonstration. Are you going a bit lighter in terms of RPE on these than you would the other variations? Thanks! Looking forward to the conventional video

    You should check out the video I linked in that section. Currently my hip is still pretty sensitive to pure hinge moments so I can’t go as heavy as I want.

    Hey, this with ur old video what’s has changed ? Ur old vid on another channel u recommend pause, halting, close stance sumo and block pull… I was wondering do u still think the halting deadlift is beneficial for sumo ? Cuz I’ve been doing em for a while

    Honestly, it’s been five years, I don’t really remember what I said. I’m pretty confident I said block deadlifts were underrated for some people. Not that they are a top tier variation.
