If you watch broscience you know what eating butt means.
I started out learning sumo, but as I became more experienced found that conventional is much faster and stronger for me.

When I started I regularly switched between conventional and sumo, then spent a year doing only conventional. I recently switched back to sumo and I feel SO much better.0

Conventional. I need to get my mobility better so I can practice sumo some, but conventional is where its at for me.
Last time I pulled sumo I hurt myself because well, I'm an idiot.

I have weird body morphology where I'm built for sumo so it's very easy for me to get in, but I needed to work on mobility for conventional.
Yea, sumo can be very taxing on the hips.0 -
Definetly conventional0

It was actually something in my hamstring/knee. It was the leg I hurt slipping on ice last winter and I hadn't been pulling sumo at all and decided to try it with my conventional working weight.
Dumb move. Nothing serious, but I haven't given sumo a shot again. lol0 -
Glad the injury wasn't bad.
I stopped pulling sumo when my foot slipped and my pinky toe clipped while the weight was coming down.
I aint' a bout that crushed foot life.0 -
I do worry about my hips a bit. I have to give them extra love with the foam roller and a tennis ball now.0

Conventional, for the most part. I started working on sumo and I do a couple of sets once a week but it feels awkward to me.0

I actually added kettle bell swings into my hypertrophy day instead of barbell hip thrusts.. It feels good on the hips and also is a little more volume for them gloots.0

Yikes! That would've been bad!
Sumo was so weird because the range of motion is so short. It wasn't easier for me, it was just a weird feeling after the weight broke the floor and "Oh, hey, its up!"

in-ter-esting. I haven't done a kettle bell swing in a long long day. Might be a nice addition/change to my program.0 -

I have a friend that gets hip issues too and he was skeptical too, but ended up liking it. I honestly thought kettle bells was for hippie muthafukkahs but honestly. They're bomb AF.0 -
Modified sumo. Hands are just on the knurling, legs just outside the hands. Works best for me.0

Nice, I like the idea of modified sumo for the greater recruitment of the quads. Breaking the floor can be a real pain in the *kitten* (literally) with sumo with ultra wide stances.0

I also feel that way when hip drive is really fast and I'm like.. fak? I'm locked out already? When hips fire too late.. the deadlift feels like it's so far away.0 -

Yeah I know. I had the same feeling about them lol. I don't know if I can give up hip thrusts tho. That's my money lift.0
