The sumo block pull deadlift builds massive glute and quad strength while reducing range of motion. It lets you lift heavier weight and perfect your lockout.
1. Set blocks or platform at mid-shin height and place loaded barbell on top 2. Stand with feet wide, toes pointed out 30-45 degrees, and grip bar inside your legs 3. Keep chest up, shoulders back, and engage your core before the sumo block pull deadlift lift 4. Drive through your heels and push the floor away, extending hips and knees together 5. Stand tall with shoulders back, then lower the sumo block pull deadlift bar back to blocks with control
• Keep your knees tracking over your toes throughout the sumo block pull deadlift movement • Pull your shoulders back and down to keep the bar close to your body • Drive your knees out wide and squeeze your glutes hard at the top of each sumo block pull deadlift rep • Keep your core tight and back neutral - don't let it round forward
• Letting knees cave inward instead of tracking over toes during the sumo block pull deadlift • Starting with the bar too far from your body, which puts stress on your lower back • Not fully extending hips at the top of the sumo block pull deadlift, missing out on glute activation
