Shout out to the pull.

I hope you have all enjoyed this months Thursday Sumo exposure. For those of you who aren’t familiar or are new to the powerlifting game, this is a great way to educate and diversify your training. Not only can this be an advantageous position for specific body composition, but it also allows others to develop different musculature. There are about 19 ways to Squat and Deadlift. All of these way target groups of muscles, but they differ in terms of the main offenders (the guys putting the most work in). There is no one way to skin a cat.

I have come across a number of articles in my weekly readings. And every so often the fresh faces get a nice sound of horn from the staples of the business. Dave Tate recently put out a great article covering every aspect of the deadliest; he has also done this with the squat as well. Take a look HERE.

Regardless of your preference or what you are anatomically built for, try something new. This just might be the right or the right now thing for you to be practicing. And for those of you looking to expand on developing those glutes, the sumo is a great way to define that rump.

Simple and sweet, shoot Dave Tate a tweet.
