Example Of A Sumo Deadlift

 

Which way should you deadlift?

This is a tricky question that relies on many factors.

1. Generally one stance will feel more “normal” than the other. For example for me sumo always felt natural.

2 . Your lift will depend on many factors such as hip anatomy, levers, mobility, injuries and much more

3. One will feel “better” but it’s important to train both styles.

4. Conventional is generally a little harder on the lower back, where as sumo is much more lower back friendly.

5. Sumo is generally harder on the hips/inner thighs and conventional is much more hip friendly.
