Good showing from Jamal, if only sumo was allowed

[@IsaacMorgan98]

If sumo was allowed he would have won, given his sumo stance gives him what looks to be ~20% extra weight on the bar for free and no one else trains it. The reason sumo isn't allowed though is cause it doesn't show how strong someone is, this sorts proves that. Jamal can out deadlift a prime Eddie Hall and Thor if he's allowed sumo and they aren't but if he's not allowed sumo he can't do what the top boys do for speed reps.
