Body just a bit off on the breathing/hold timing and bingo it's lights out. On top of getting light headed , I used to get an occasional blood nose when I was doing heavy stuff back in the day but, apparently it's normal. Or at least I was told it's ok?

A mate of mine likes to do sumo; has recommended it often to me. He says it feels more autonomous to him; he doesn't have to think about his technique as much to do the lift correctly/safely. Still doesn't lift as much as me though :P

Well I gave Sumo a shot today to see if it pisses off my lower back like regular deadlifts always manage to...nope, absolutely no pain at all. It removes a lot of load from the lower back and send to hand it off to your legs lol. Managed to do better today than the last time I did regular deads.

Will definitely be doing Sumo deadlifts from now on, though I'll still get to sorting out WTF is wrong with my regular deadlift.

Its strange how many think sumos are easier than conventional.

The biggest deadlifts in history are all conventional

Benedikt Magnusson, Andy Bolton both over 1000lbs, Konstantinov, Koklyaev over 900lbs, even here in Oz Odell Manuel 400kg, George McLaren 375kg.

There is no doubt though that some are more suited to sumo. Here in the gym we have 2 guys pull 300kg conventional, Martin should be next and he has switched to sumo, Dan has 290kg conventional and Roger has pulled 300kg but not in a comp, he too is conventional

Wasn't Martins choice. His deadlift had stalled and Max decided to try sumo. Max also noticed that Martin had stopped front squatting.

Up until Nats, Martin trained himself, he went into Nats with the 2nd highest total at PTC, came out with the 7th highest, all those in front had been trained by Max, so he asked Max to train him.

His results will be skewed by the fact he has added bodyweight, so were not going to sit here and make outlandish claims BUT he went into Nats with a 685kg total and went 687.5kg in the same weight class.

First thing Max did was to get Martin front squatting again and to have a program for him. I think Martin will go close to 730kg at ProRawFive.

The reason Max switched his deadlift was to take advantage of his levers, Marty has long arms

He is currently the only PTC lifter doing Sumo

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
