Which is better, sumo or regular deadlift?

It depends. Do you have long arms and a short torso? Or the opposite?

What are your goals? Conventional deads are better for BBs as they work the entire back more due to a longer ROM and less emphasis on the glutes, hams, and hips as the Sumo.

Sumo is good for pulling allot of weight.

If you are going to sumo read this.

He always had the option of not doing so, and ending his relationship. I inferred from his post that he didn't want to do so. A "physically" non-existent relationship may be important to some; and even though I prefer physicality, a great many people wait before engaging in relations, and many people have done long term relationships involving temporary absences; such as members of the armed forces. If they wish to try this, there is no reason why they shouldn't.

Well of course. I'm sure right now Hooah is very infatuated with the girl. Physicality is a very important part in a relationship esp, if Hooah and his girl have already partaken. There age makes it that much worse.

I just don't think he needs to put the stress on himself right now.

I actually tend to agree with you, personally; however, in my opinion, there are people who seek relationships strong enough that they can handle periods of absence. Although I think if this is a casual relationship he maybe could choose to move on and inform her of such, it isn't my place to judge their relationship as being one forever or not; I'd say that is their call. If they are in love, they will prevail together. If not, the relationship will end eventually anyway, on their own terms.

No one can know if they are in love besides them, as such, as an advice giver I must leave room for both possibilities, to be the most helpful I can. Your perspective is welcome, different, and not entirely incompatible with my own advice for him.

Eh, long arms long torso. I used to do conventional, but I've been doing sumo the last month or so. Feel it almost all in the legs. Might switch to conventional for more focus on back though.
