late on this but some stupid ass comments...No one can just hop on gear and hit 800 straps or not..I knpw a ton of geared lifters PL who have competed before I was born that are in the 600 range still..some are 700 squat 600 deads or vice versa but very few can hit 700s on bot let alone 800..the few i know who hit upper 700s or 800s are 275 plus and genetic freaks with work ethic.. No your average powerlifter on gear has no where near potential to easily get 800 even in 10 years of training IMO.. If your built for it you have an advantage but theres mental aspect,genetics,work,gear etc...there are world strongest man comp who have not hit 900s,,, the strongest biggest men on earth.
And sumo doesnt automatically add 40 lbs to your dead LOL wtf,,, For some yes for others more , and then for others it will decrease the deadlift..its for body type..women often try sumo as they have good hip flexibility and hip strength vs back power..but many men ED COAN , etc train both and excel in both reapin benefits of conventionals easier off floor vs sumos easier lockout..but even that is reveresed in some..The debate between styles is a long standing joke but the answer is always DO BOTH whatever you use in competition do the other in off season training and switch near a meet and will transfer over.. This kid is going to be a freak..The next Larry wheels possibly..If his bench sucks now hes got 20 fking years to build it before he even gets old!!!
