Conventional pulls are awesome. If someone posted a video of a 420 sumo and a 400 conventional? i know what lift I prefer to watch. I understand Yury Belkin for example can pull a huge weight sumo, but I prefer watching a strong conventional pull any day. Just my preference. I even prefer hitched conventional to sumo. Wish they would ban it!

Just personal preference. They are different lifts to me and shouldn't be called the same. If a 400kg sumo deadlift appears on my feed I don't even watch it. Not relevant to my sport and not something I'm interested in.

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts	If someone pulls more sumo, then do it for competition, by all means. I suppose sumo on a stiff bar isn't quite as bad, but some sumo pulls on whippy bars look like they are only raised a few inches off the ground. what's that all about? A conventional pull is more awesome to watch IMO. It just looks a stronger movement. But each to their own. I still respect sumo, but not near as much as someone pulling the weight conventional. Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I am well aware the majority of strong sumo pullers could conventional my max for reps. I hardly ever watch any videos of sumo. would rather skip by them.

I think doing sumo pulls is a good accessory movement for carryover, but I prefer conventional. Just my 2 cents! Nothing personal to competitors that prefer sumo.

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22041 posts	93hopkinsonr said: Fair play. What about split jerking a log compared to push pressing? That's within the rules of strongman. Not utilised much though, so obviously very difficult to do on a log.
