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

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
