Still hanging in there pulling sumo. Its a constant struggle getting my form dialed in but it is getting better.

The biggest problem for me is sitting back and keeping my chest up so not to do a stiff leg/back pull like you would do an RDL but in sumo form. I can really tell I have not trained these muscles I use when I pull sumo.

I am totally exposing my week points pulling sumo for sure. I am also sore as heck the next day after pulling sumo in my hips and quads. Im never sore after pulling conventional - raw or using gear.

This is definitely a work in progress. I will continue to force myself to this every other week. Maybe one day I can lock this in. We will see. Until then I suck at pulling in either style for now....
