Sumo Deadlift
Setup
Position feet under bar with very wide stance, knees and toes pointed out. Squat down and grasp bar between legs with a slightly narrower than shoulder width mixed grip.
Movement Instructions
Lift bar by extending hips and knees to full extension, keeping back straight and pulling shoulders back at top of lift if rounded. Return bar to ground and repeat.
Comments
Keep back straight and head up throughout movement. Make it one fluid movement by pulling the weight by using all of the muscles in the back of the legs (glutes and hamstrings) to extend hips, and not lifting just with the low back at the start.
