Not to be a jerk, but Ed Coan deadlifted more weight with sumo than you’ll probably ever dream of pulling.

So don’t worry about it man :slight_smile: just use whichever one feels better to you.[/quote]

Ed’s numbers (sumo to conventional ratio) actually weren’t that different. His best conventional in competition was 887, I believe, and of course, his other-worldly 901 sumo.
