The question is , what ' s the normal to semisumo weight ratio ? Wat . It ' s impossible to determine how much you regular deadlift based on your semisumo . So should I , even when I don ' t really feel bad with my shoes on , still take them off for lifting ? Yes . Same for squatting . They are squishy and soft and unstable . You wand hard and stable . And now a bit of ELI 5 , what are the pros and cons of mixed grip ? mixed grip gives you a better grip , but might make the bottom position a bit more awkward . Your opinion might change once the weight gets heavy . <| sep |> Yeah , but being 011 and being eliminated only just now is kinda weird . Youd think that with how the afc North usually is wed have been eliminated by week 7 .
