I definitely feel the cold less when I'm doing regular resistance training

Awesome workout, I ****ing love deadlifts. Happy with my first trial of sumo deadlifts.
Had my first attempt at sumo deadlifts this morning. Ground out a 190kg single before my hammies (I think) packed it in
This is what the whole workout looked like
Would love some decent resources (articles vids etc.) on sumo to get my form down pat a bit
Watched this barbell brigade vid (after the workout, which seems counter intuitive), however I have no idea if the bloke is talking bs or not.
If you watch enough vids/read enough articles you’ll notice common trends/points that pretty much everyone will allude to. After that it’s largely semantics/personal biases.
For the most part though;
• shins should be vertical or very slightly like this /\
• the closer your hips are to the bar the better
• there’s not as much tolerance for back rounding as there is in the conventional (bar gets caught on your quads)
• the knees should ideally lock out much earlier in the sumo deadlift than conventional
• if you miss anywhere but off the floor your technique probably sucks
Just wondering what peoples opinions are on weight belts for squats? I've never worn one and am hoping not to but I've been squatting pretty consistently over the last couple of years since quitting footy. I'm 5'9 and weigh 73 kg and am generally squatting in a pyramid scheme up to about 2 - 3 sets of 115 kg at this stage. I could see that number getting up to roughly 125 in the next couple of months though.
My question is: I've never worn one and I don't feel as though it's restricting me. I don't get any pain. Form is good as far as I've been told. But should I be thinking about wearing one to prevent any issues from arising? Rather than waiting for an issue to come and then work out what to do.
(Also, my preference in general is to hopefully not wear one due to convenience and I must admit I think they may look a little douchey)
Cheers

100kg bench press on a 100 keg frame.I did 5 reps of 100kg bench press this morning, which is an equal PR and only the second time I've done it in my life.
What I will tell you though is that I've never done it that easily, this dreamer bulk is working like a charm. Incidentally weighed in at 95.7kg this morning (clothed) so my beefcake dreams of triple figures are within reach
Here's the full workout in case anyone cares
c'mon mate by the time I crack the ton I'll be benching 150kg #dreamerbulk100kg bench press on a 100 keg frame.
Livin' the dream.
I love deadlifts but hate sumo ones. To me they just feel such an unnatural and awkward way of moving.
spread them legs and drop it lowHow do you pick a heavy box up off the floor?
spread them legs and drop it low
Not exactly related to the convo above, but I do love this video that went viral a few weeks back
And this is why monolifts are considered safer than squat racks.
No spotters in the world are going to stop 506kg from hitting the deck.
is it just me or was he no where near making that?
What style of lifting?
