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

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
