We pull far from our bodies. You probably set up right over the bar with it close to your shins. I set up with the bar over my toes. Different leverage points as well. Sumo is more likely to end up bloody as well.0 -
This is AWESOME!!!!!0

I've found that when I pull, the bar doesn't really ding my shins, but I do end up with some roughed up thighs.0 -
Might give this a go, will be serious cardio as it's about 40% of my max.

my legs are noticeably out of proportion with my out of proportion legs. (I have a 37" inseam, but my torso is irregularly short. When I go low, my knees are too far out and when I stand, I either hurt my back trying to suck them in or go around them, or they smack and hook under my knees and I cant stand, or they tear up the front of me.
I switched to the trap bar, no more problems.

Wide-stance sumo would probably work for you too. Conventional puts wayyy too much strain on my lower back and I hit my knees all the time with the bar. Sumo was a godsend and my weights increased tremendously within a few months.0 -
assuming grip holds out, can you pull more weight sumo than conventional?0

I just wanted to say you ladies are powerhouses! Very inspirational :-)0

I might try this. 250lbs is about 64% of my max. But I know I'll be sore as living hell after doing 25 reps at one time. I wouldn't do it in addition to my dead workout but instead of it.
For the record, I'm 46 and 250lbs is almost 1.5 of my current weight0 -

definitely common- but it's not ALL.
I get the feeling you see a lot of competitors via video using sumo b/c of your logic- when in reality- they should figure out what works best for their body rather than trying to do what works best for someone else.0 -

That's the MFP of throwing your bat after striking out, isn't it?

I don't know, can you? :P
Experiment if you're curious. I could tell the difference immediately. However, I have a tall torso with average legs and arms. I'm 6'3" with only a 32" inseam; I'm all torso. You can google some methods of determining if your proportions will suit sumo or conventional better, that's what made me give sumo a try.
Oddly enough, even though I'm not built for deadlifting (the best deadlifters tend to have longer arms and shorter legs) it's my best lift by far.0
