Sumo Deadlift
The sumo deadlift is a variation of the barbell deadlift often adopted by powerlifters. When performing a sumo deadlift, the lifter adopts a wide stance, and grips the bar between the legs. Features The difference between a sumo deadlift and a conventional one lies in the setup of the lifter's feet and hands. When the bar is gripped with the lifter's hands inside their legs, the form is considered "sumo". Traditionally, hip stance is far wider in sumo deadlifts, and toes are pointed slightly outwards. The sumo deadlift may be advantageous to people with exceptional hip mobility, a long torso, or short arms, as it allows the hips to start closer to the bar, with the torso in a more upright position. Another advantage of the sumo deadlift is decreased shearing force on the Lumbar vertebrae, lumbar spine when compared to the conventional deadlift. Other benefits of the sumo deadlift include: Strengthening the Quadriceps femoris muscle, quadriceps, Gluteus maximus muscle, glutes, ...
