Not all people can pull of sumo as it frame dependent and requires more mobility/flexibility. I'm built to pull sumo since I have long arms, a shorter torso, and a high level of flexibility.

I tried sumo a couple of different times but it felt terribly awkward and uncomfortable. I was always amazed that Ed Coan was able to switch between styles , since they are so different biomechanically.

He actually didn't have a choice. He had a major groin injury and was unable to pull sumo after that. His top pull was sumo and at a lower weight class.

Something like 820 in the 220 class if memory serves correctly.

His all-time best was 901 at 220lbs.

Total beast mode. I imagine that record will stand for quite some time. I had no idea that he broke 900 in that weight class. I thought he went up a class before he broke that barrier. But I am a little rusty on my power lifting history. I lost track about 89 or 90.
