    I did it when you originally did it. Here's mine. I'd do it again but I have a meet in a month and doing this again would trash me.

    You are incredible! Glad you shared yours again! This is beast, you weigh a lot less than me.


    Both of you are seriously strong. Impressive.

    Nice. Is it just me or is that a sort of narrow for a sumo stance?

    Not everyone who pulls sumo does the splits. Seems pretty normal for sumo to me. She's a competitive powerlifter, so I'm guessing years of lifting has proven this as the best width for her.

    Feet just outside the rings is pretty common.

    I remember when you posted that originally. That is really impressive especially considering that you are light as hell.

    Absolutely great work! BTW There ARE easier ways to kill yourself if that's all you wanted. ;) I think I like the part best where you figured out afterwards you only had to do 10 and that makes the 25 that much sweeter! (Wish I we had a thumbs up emote)

    OMG! I loved watching those. I know everyone else has said this, but: "YOU GUYS ARE INSPIRATIONAL!"

    Thank you all for the sweet comments! It was a great challenge and I definitely had to leave my comfort zone. I think at about the 18 rep mark I wanted to quit, but once you've done 18 what's 7 more?

    I look forward to doing it again December 1st and I hope others will join in.

    I'm not sure. My ankles are just inside the rings. I've played with it a lot over the years and I still pull best with it a bit narrower as it gives me a bit more drive off the floor. Plus I need my feet facing more forward that outwards and it allows me to recruit more quad. Maybe it's not truly sumo but wide conventional? Regardless, it's the lift that gives me the most on my total :smiley:

    Great video--for me, I'm not sure about this. I did Diane the other day @ 3:18 (21-15-9 185# dl's & handstand push ups) in CF and felt great. However, this Monday, I did 15 DL's @ 265# and was sore, sore, sore until yesterday (Thursday) to the point of it really negatively impacting my training for my PL meet and my ability to CF. Also, my IT band was flipping me the middle finger. I can't do it now because of my upcoming meet. I feel like it's feasible for me but not advisable. Recovering takes longer at my age than it did when i was younger and sometimes I gotta honor that unless I'm in a competition setting. Sometimes I do stuff just because it sounds like a good idea and then I screw up the rest of my training for a while. Kudos to you on your great achievement and your awesome competition 1 rep max! :)

    Great job on yours as well! I love seeing people push themselves like that. I don't know if there is an exact measure for sumo vs classic but those were more sumo since your arms are inside. Whatever gets the weight up is all that matters in the end!

    I''ll be 50 next month and let me tell you recovery gets even worse. I have to be pretty strategic with how I plan things where 6 years ago I didn't give it nearly as much thought.

    I've seen you around the forums occasionally. Very impressive and inspirational. I have so, so, so much respect for female master's athletes, especially in strength sports. Keep up the great work!
