How to sumo deadlift with Ed Coan

 Ed Coan is arguably the GOAT (greatest of all time) in powerlifting Recently I changed around the way I do deadlift, taking up sumo, to help me lift WITH rather than against my body dynamics and shape. My intention is get to 350kg 771.5lb within the next few years. I've started a video series following my journey towards this target, but thought I'd share some of thr source material that helped me readdress my style. Now a lot of what I know is through talking directly to other competitive lifters (bodybuilders, powerlifters and strongmen) as well as good ol' experience. But this video featuring Ed Coan, was for me invaluable. Full of great info, in a very easy to understand format, this will help revolutionise your approach to sumo deadlift. There are also videos on conventional deadlifts too, which I can share at a later date, but conventional is much less technical than sumo so it's much less involved (though still a great watch)

Sumo Wrestler Hibikiryu Dead

 Sumo wrestler Hibikiryu has now died from his injuries . I covered his paralysis from a broken neck a month ago, but so so sad to hear this warrior has died now. May he rest in peace and forever be remembered 

In this video we see the sad moment where hibikiryu fell and did not get up. at first the officials believed him to be unconscious, but hibikiryu was conscious the whole time but unable to move from the neck down. 

terrifying and I can only hope the Doctors and Nurses looking after him can do something for him regards recovery, at the moment good news looks unlikely but we can only hope

It's just been announced (29th April 2021)that hibikiryu has died from his injuries, at the age of 28years. Such a sad moment. May this warrior rest in peace and his death not be in vain
