Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Hi guys, hopefully this is the right place to post this, I'm interested in what assistance etc everyone uses to get a bigger sumo deadlift. I have had some success so far using hip thrusts and good mornings, along with a simple effective 3x3 system for the deadlift itself, this has got me to 240kg, but I'm looking to kick on. Kevin Jane has suggested heavy half squats, which seem good, but just curious what has given everyone else success. Thank you. | ||

Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Ok then, what sort of heights and weight/reps do you use? I was using an 18 inch box that worked out a couple of inches above parallel, going to persevere with different heights etc. see what happens. | ||

 Ne n coner a fuickex .ay ouse part we .be Member 1425, 4647 posts SQ 340, BP 227.5, DL 335902.5 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | I found spending more time on the lift with lighter weights improved my pull more than assistance lifts I think it's such a technical lift you have to give it the time it deserves I am still learning but some sets feel like a max some sets feel wieghtless even if I am using the same weight One thing I will say is stretch stretch and stretch some more that's what seems to be helping me at the moment | ||

I was using an 18 inch box that worked out a couple of inches above parallel, going to persevere with different heights etc. see what happens. Set the box so that when you are sat on it the angle of your knees is the same (or just slightly more bent) than the angle your knees are at when the bar leaves the floor on you pull. | ||

 'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Allow me. I'm with milsy, assistance will get you nowhere. Why does it even exist? Something to do with Jim wendler? It's all about just doing lots of sumo and getting your technique right. It looks like you are already doing alright but if you weren't I'd say start with a really light weight and experiment until you find the technique that is perfect for you, then stick with it and practice it a lot using moderate weight. | ||

 Member 1519, 1476 posts SQ 320, BP 260, DL 320900.0 kgs @ 117kgs Eq | im another one that thinks to get better at sumo you need to spend time doing sumo pulls, technique, technique, technique i switched to sumo a few months ago and realized recently my technique is s**t so my plan of action is drop the weights down and work on tech i'lll add in sumo block pulls to help work on lock out and maybe some sumo pulls against bands | ||

Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Thanks guys, good point, more work on lighter weights cant do any harm, I will train it twice a week, once heavy sets of 3, the other day focus on technique with sets of 3-5 but just lots of them. Block pulls aren't a bad idea as well, I think that more time dedicated to it will be more useful that extra assistance then. Thank you everyone, hopefully you will see some good progress on my journal. | ||
