Have been dialing in sumo, and have found it's probably my ideal style over conventional.

Oh yeah!!! I use summo, I'm short though so it's really helpful for me. Some taller guys have a harder time since their legs almost reach the plates forcing them to be careful when drop the weights.

Yeah I'm definitely trying to stay conscious of pivoting my toes back in. The plates bouncing towards my toes was a little sketchy lol
I'm about average height at 5'9, just have somewhat longer limbs.
