I'm planning on switching from conventional to sumo deadlift as my comp lift (as in: the lift I do in actual competitions)
Now I'm wondering what that would mean for my assistance exercises.
Do I keep doing the same things? Are there better options as a sumo lifter that you would not do as a conventional lifter? Ex: What about RDL's? Do I do SLDL's with a sumo stance?
Until now I've treated sumo as a lift I do during pivot blocks. But I noticed I can lift close to my conventional max within just 2 weeks of training sumo. So I guess that when I put some real effort into sumo I can surpass my conventional by some margin.
