The reverse band sumo deadlift reduces weight at the bottom while keeping full load at the top. Perfect for building lockout strength and working through sticking points.
1. Set up resistance bands from the top of a power rack to each end of the barbell 2. Position feet wider than shoulder-width with toes pointed out 30-45 degrees for the reverse band sumo deadlift setup 3. Grab the bar with hands inside your legs, chest up, and back straight 4. Drive through your heels and squeeze glutes to lift the bar, letting the bands assist at the bottom 5. Complete the reverse band sumo deadlift by standing tall, then lower with control
• Keep your knees tracking over your toes throughout the entire reverse band sumo deadlift movement • The bands should provide most assistance at the bottom position • Drive your hips forward at the top instead of leaning back • Maintain a neutral spine - don't round your back during the reverse band sumo deadlift
• Letting knees cave inward instead of tracking over toes during the reverse band sumo deadlift • Starting with hips too low, which turns this into a squat movement • Using too much band tension, which reduces the training effect at the reverse band sumo deadlift lockout
