What's the difference between sumo and traditional wrestling?

Traditional hard pull is the first choice for most bodybuilders, but not many bodybuilders use sumo hard pull. Many people think that sumo hard lifting is used to lift weights. In fact, there are both methods. As for who can be better, it depends on many factors, the most important of which is personal fitness habits and applicable objects. So what's the difference between these two kinds of hard drawing?

1, from the stability of standing posture, the traditional hard pull, the force on the foot is vertical downward, which can give the body more stable support. As long as we make good use of the various muscle groups and joints involved, there are almost no other stability factors. Think about it, sumo wrestling is just different. Compared with the traditional hard pull, the hard pull of sumo is more like tearing the floor, so it is hard to imagine that you need to resist an outward force.

2. According to the muscle tissue analysis involved, the traditional hard pull posture is roughly the same as the hip joint width, and it can also be adjusted within the range of greater than the hip joint width and less than the shoulder joint width according to personal habits. "Hip stretching" is very important in the whole process, so our rear chain muscles will be highly involved, and sumo is different. Compared with the traditional hard pull, the hard pull of sumo requires less stretching of hips and more emphasis on "stretching knees", so the quadriceps femoris of sumo hard pull will be included.

3. Analyzing the body structure of people with short legs and long body length is not suitable for sumo wrestling, because as mentioned above, it is more difficult to start sumo wrestling, that is, barbells are more difficult to leave the ground than traditional wrestling. If a person with a long body has short legs when doing sumo hard pull, the breech position must be kept low, so it is difficult to start. If the hip position becomes lower, it will be more difficult. Nervous, because people with short hands will inevitably make the upper limbs lean forward too much when doing traditional hard pulling, which will easily increase the working distance of the waist; People with long legs are not suitable for traditional hard pulling.

The above is the difference between the two kinds of hard drawing. Everyone's situation is different, so is your choice. What method you want to choose depends on your own body!
