Yes from what I've seen of sumo's you need to have your toes pretty much at the weights. Which can be scary when you're putting the weight back down... Also as I understand it, powerlifters use it to kind of use the tension in their muscles/ligaments as a spring to lift more. They like "wind-up" by pulling themsevles down towards the bar and pop it up. I dunno, maybe I explained that really bad. I tried sumos before but I don't think I'm flexible enough in the hips.
