It can take your body as little as 2 weeks to adapt to a particular lift, that is why it is important to change routines and lifts. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve
	2004/12/01, 05:14 PM Wrestler not that I disagree with you per se but I like to stick to what works...I go by philosophy if it's not broke then don't fix it....I can go months at a time with same exact work out...pushing reps and poundages....when I see I plateau for a workout then I may switch order or something else... Also why use sumo style deadlifts if that not the way you train? like if you use conventional stance? also what about stiff-legged deadlifts...also dimel deadlifts(where u do stiff legged deadlifts, but you go backwards with your butt as much as possible, it murders your hamstrings;so beware )

So it is a great idea to switch them out every 1-3 weeks. You'll know when you peaked an exercise out. You will get stronger faster if you try to peak one out and then find a new one to peak out. You never get stale.

Also, I didn't recommend any of the excercises on that list. The reason there are so many is so that you have some to choose from. I personally don't believe in sumo squats, as I have bad knees, and it's not as functional to what I am training for (wrestling and powerlifting) -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve
	2004/12/15, 03:35 AM I understand...I was simply going from my personal experience....I pick out certain exercises that work for me and go with them for often many months...But that doesn't necessarily mean many workouts because I tend to train each body part once every 2-3 weeks so it comes out to be only about 10 workouts or so...plus I also throw in additional exercises if I feel like doing soemthing extra like for back for example I just do 3 main exercises Deadlifts T-Rows Pull-Downs occassionally I might do a set or two of cable rows or maybe lower back machine....or pull ups....or whatever it might be...but the main 3 exercises are always the same....sometimes I switch up order of 2nd and 3rd by either doing 1 or the other first, or sometiems mixing the sets....seems to work for me very well....I just don't see need to switch up exercises if you're progressing and i question how one could know for certain if he can progress faster with current routine or by switching up exercises and reps every workout.....I actually like my body to get into a routine...every workout it knows I will do 5, 10, or 20 more pounds, or perhaps max out...deviation from routine throws me off....so unless I plateau I see no reason... I think I misunderstood the purpose of the list at first...I may not use a sumo style but it's still there for those who do...just knowing the choices available is a great thing...this should definetely be a sticky....right by bench, and squat....

If your hips are stronger.......you can lift more on squats, deads etc. I was taught sumo deads....I deadlifted like that for years.......tell I switched over.

	2004/12/17, 02:02 AM heh, i tried sumo back in the day....and i couldn't even lift 315 of the ground....seemed so awkward to me I might try it one of these as a finishing exercise...
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2004/12/24, 05:23 PM Menace, one word on your problem with sumo deadlift: flexibility. I couldn't do sumo squats or dl's till I got more flexible. My lifts are still going up as I get more flexible. When I first tried them, I couldn't even do the bar to parallel on a sumo squat. And on a side note, I don't even do the deadlift anymore, except dl's off a platform with the apollon bar, and that works my grip more than anything. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve
