Sumo is awkward at first but in alot of ways it's more advantageous to natural body mechanics

+1 for gettin that ass down deeper and producing a more advantageous back angle. Also a better valsalva breath between each rep will help flatten out that lower back a bit as there is slight rounding. I'm personally not a fan of the head up lift I prefer a nuteral spine through the neck but if that's what gets you up then do what you gotta do.

It's worth a shot if you can't get your back angle better conventional. It could just be lack of practice though, my conventional used to look like a stiff-legged deadlift, too. I just practiced and got it better.
All this input is what this place is about. Everyone working together to help everyone better themselves. Can't thank you all enough

Gonna bring a tear to my eye getting like that bro! 3rd week pct hitting me reading that
. With slight technique tweeks I think you can get your conventional deadlift way higher for sure. Keep up the hard work, toss in the advice you get one at a time and see what works and doesn't then take another video and we can build from there!

Lmao. Hold it together bro but I know the feeling. That clomid can make the meanest person shed some tears at the blink of an eye.
No workout for me tonight. Gym was closed before I got outta work. Hope everyone has a safe and good New Years
Tomorrow will be my last night of block 29. I'll be super pumped to have made it through not missing a rep

Doc will be so proud! Congrats getting through that grind.
This will be a breeze for what's to come. Block 29 was kinda prep block for the program. At least that's the way it looks
Even Doc had fun going thru it
Bummer about the gym being closed, but you and all the meso brothers have a safe and very happy new years!![emoji324][emoji510][emoji512][emoji322][emoji323]

Sheiko week 4 day 5 block 29 complete!!
Block 29 is done and done. Really have to thank @Docd187123 and @brutus79 for giving me that extra push to make the switch. It's been an awesome experience so far and I can tell this stuff works. Still haven't decided yet if I'm gonna take a small break (1 week) to work of DL form or just jump right into block 30. Any advice on that would be greatly appreciated. Took a few updated photos from today to track progress. I'm gonna do measurements here shortly once my pump dies down so I can get an accurate reading. Weight first thing this morning was 202. A couple pounds up from normal. May have been the drinks from last night lol.

Good man rob. Get them measurements. I record em with the tape up so that it's obvious and you can always go back and use the pics as progress inspiration already having the tape in the pic makes it easy

Looking good man. Congratulations on besting your block. Pretty cool accomplishment, especially being able to say you didn't miss a single rep.
Appreciate it man. I hope the same outcome goes for block 30. I know if I take my time I can do it but it will be much much more challenging. Some of those workouts have so much volume I hope my CNS is ready for it.

Looking lean and mean, brother. As far as a week off unless you feel like you need a break I don't think a week is enough to get new technique down. Maybe take one workout and pull a bunch of singles in the 405ish range with your camera handy and toy with technique and foot placement and see how you do and what feels right. Seems like Sheiko has a lot of reps and sets at lower percentages and that's really what you're going to need to get this dialed in where it's second nature on all your pulls.
I couldn't really see your foot placement in the video very well, but it seemed a little wide. When I was having a similar problem about a year ago I went very narrow, toes pointed out a little. Get down low and imagine your spine and body rigid and that your butt is locked in place when you pull. You want to maintain your back angle until about your knees and then straighten it. Imagine your back breaking the bar from the floor and then it's just maintaining position while your legs bring it to your knees and then your back takes over again. I don't know if my explanation makes much sense or that it's 100% correct, but that's how I worked through it when I had to work on form.

That's actually a good idea. Once I do it once the right way it'll be a great help. I'm a pretty fast learner. Just have to find that stance that allows me to get my ass down.
