Hips coming up too early and all that other bad stuff. But now I'm slow off the ground and lockout is slightly easier (opposite of conventional). I'm going to try and improve these over the next few weeks before I decide whether I'll commit to switching to sumo style (sorry Misael, Greg, and Terence..I might have to conform :(

Met a new incoming freshman lifter named Nick today. He's a really nice guy and is very interested in powerlifting. He seems to have a good amount of knowledge already and he just started a 13 week Sheiko cycle. He said he totals around 1300 raw so he's a pretty strong dude as well. Also, he has a bunch of equipment like farmer's walk handles, boards, bands...and a (I don't know how to do blinking text but if I knew, I'd definitely invoke those skills here)

Given how close 375 x 2 is to your conventional max, I'd say you might be a better fit. If you stick with it for the next cycle, I'm thinking you could pull in the 420+ range easy. It's just a matter of training the nervous system and learning the sumo prestretch for hamstrings.
Does Nick have his prowler handy? We need to get that thing here now and put it in the club sports gym. I have plans for it this quarter...
It's definitely weaker than my conventional for now (PR is 424), but I'll try and focus on technique for some time and then see. And yes he has his prowler in his truck that he will have on campus I think.
oh yeah guys I have a Prowler just sitting in my car too
