Interesting, thanks for the insight Markos!

Well my upper back is definitely feeling it from the deadlifts, so at least I can see it hit my traps etc harder than anything I've been trying to fill the deadlift gap with. Plus my lower back still feels fine :D

What are everyone's thoughts on Sumo deadlifts?

My conventional atm is 195 but my sumo is 210 in training. Even though I have shortish arms go figure.

The thing with sumo is it requires a lot more mobility than conventional especially in the hips so many will not try it out for a long period and dont follow through a full training cycle.

Also pulling wide sumo and squatting wide also fries out your hips eventually from what ive seen and experienced.

I have moved in the squat stance and also pull conventional every few weeks to keep the back strong and the hips healthy.

Interesting you say sumo would require more mobility...ironically that's exactly WHY I started doing them - lack of lower back mobility lol.

Also I figured sumo would be better if you've got short arms heh.

Thanks for the input though :D

How sad is it that our 'professional' sportsmen seem to have no idea about simple fitness/strength regimes

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
