I got the go-ahead from coach Schwab to use briefs in training as a way to work in heavier loads while learning the technique of pulling sumo. I'm using a very old pair of metal briefs that have belonged to a handful of people before me but have ordered my very own pair which should be here soon and have a much better fit.

I had reverse bands on the program for the day, and we used feeder chains looped around a power rack so that the tension from the bands lets off at lockout.
