I don't know, something about 5 stars or whatever. There is just so much useless stuff to read through.

On the sumo vs. conventional I think there are a few things that are important to point out. The main one is the difference between what powerlifters do and what is appropriate or that fits the goals of the average guy. Powerlifters are only concerned about lifting the most possible. With sumo the distance is less and less enerygy expenditure is required. If it works for them there is a good reason to do it on that basis. It is only about numbers.

But the effect it has is much different. You want to build your back and posterior chain you'd be better off with conventionals. If you want the strength derived from that to be more applicable to real world stiutations you may want conventionals too. You may have a guy who can really only do one of the other with any success because of the way he is built but on average the one you pick as your main focus has a lot to do with your specific goals.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
