My goal tonight was just to learn the sumo deadlift and I accomplished that. I am so very happy that, with the suggestion of a friend, I tried this lift. I did all of the lifts with NO BELT! There was barely any strain on my lower back and I can't tell you how good that feels. To FINALLY have something that I can hit my legs with, with heavy weight, that won't kill my back. I tried the conventional lift just to see what I could do. Everything I've seen and read said the two lifts should be close, and they are. What I like about the sumos, aside from being easier on my back, is that it hits the weak parts of my hips which in turn will hopefully help my squat and conventional lift. 
Frank was beat from work, but I give him credit for doing what he did. He has a very physical job during the day, so sometimes, the last thing he wants to do is lift. But he did it. And so did I. 
I actually had fun tonight, like I used to. I've missed that feeling. It's my intent to keep it going.
