Curious to know what your other numbers are

Best raw squat is 750 but think I may be 800 right now. Should be around a 500 bench as well based on rep calculators. Again vids of all my training are available.
No straps on the first lift would be my guess on the alternate grip..interested to hear his opinion on sumo form
kabuki said:Correct
Here is the issue I am dealing with...see end of video talk. I can pull about 75-100lbs more when using straps as it eliminates the elbow issue.

As far as Sumo technique. The form I use is very difficult to learn/achieve and I've never had any luck trying to teach it in writting so I don't attempt to anymore. I teach two different styles of conventional and a couple variations of sumo...i don't teach this one often as most people simply can't do it... took me y ears to acheive.

Curious, what training program do you do
kabuki said:thanks for comments guys. I don't do a 'training progam' per se however what I do would best be described as a conjugate or westside-barbell approach.
If you jump over to my blog you will find several articles on my approach to strength training.
