No clue about sumo so I am also curious what people say.


I think you need to do it with way heavier weight to get a good read. Looks like you coulda had that 30 reps.

Agreed.

Looks good but it's easy to look good when it's light.

He says your supposed to get your nuts right over the bar, and your hips should be directly over it. He also says when you reach down to pull your hips should be going straight down, and not back.

In the video put up by york barbell he has his ass/nuts way behind the bar and he sits back rather than down.


Would york do better getting closer or is that fine?

Load the bar

Flex yourself down to the bar, get everything as tight as you can, grab bar, flex triceps HARD and pull your hips down

and as mentioned above, the closer your hips are to the bar, the better

Watch that video with Jesse Burdick, that is one of the best explanations/teaching/visualization I have ever seen for sumo form. Watch how far his hips have to move forward before the correction and watch how that distance is shortened when he does it right. Practice exactly what Jesse teaches in this video and you will be well on your way to a massive PR

ok, Ive added another 65lbs to the bar, heres the video for another form check with heavier weight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz3Sj...ature=youtu.be

Maybe it's just the camera angle but it looks like your knees (right one really) are caving in some. I can't tell the way your feet are set but point your toes out and think about spreading the floor beneath you.

[yorkbell]

sorry to keep reviving thread, this will be last check I promise.
Tried to correct the knee caving you mentioned and really focused on speading the floor, not sure if it helped, but camera angle is a bit dodgy so no sure..Also after this set I was approached by a guy who said he 'didnt want me doing any more sets as I was only asking for an injury', it was only another student as Im at my college gym, didnt know what to think lol Is it that bad?
