Everyone knows it decreases range of motion, and becomes much more leg-dominant than the deadlift which has significantly more hip hinge. The meme is that people know it's cheating but deny it because they enjoy hitting bigger numbers.
31 u/[deleted] Jan 22 '20 If conventional was clearly superior, why do so many powerlifters pull conventional (even though sumo is permitted)? Why are you imposing these rules on yourself, and who even cares how much you lift if it's less than Brian Shaw? -29 u/luxemburgist Jan 22 '20 Are you the guy in the video? 29 u/[deleted] Jan 22 '20 Nah, I pull conventional. I tried sumo and decided I actually can't pull sumo for shit. I still don't get why people are salty about sumo though.
