Mid October. I may do a meet if a low key meet comes up at the right time and place. Kind of a practice meet to see where I'm at.

Very interesting!

Is there a certain weakness/sticking point these are supposed to work?

What's your DL comp stance?

I've recently started doing Conv in training and although I'm not comfortable (mentally) doing them, they hammer my back in ways Sumo never do. I'm now going to do them all the time and see if they don't supercede Sumo as my stance of choice.

I like sumo if I'm in gear but if doing them raw I pull conv.

I'm with you except they get my elbows. I can hammer my tris doing other things so I don't do these much or too heavy.
