Exercise Description

The sumo deadlift builds massive strength in your glutes and hamstrings while hitting your inner thighs. It's perfect for people with longer legs or hip mobility issues.

How To

1. Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width, toes pointed out 30-45 degrees 2. Grab the barbell with hands inside your legs, arms straight down 3. Push your hips back, chest up, and grip the bar tight 4. Drive through your heels and push the floor away to lift the sumo deadlift up 5. Stand tall at the top, then lower the sumo deadlift back down with control

Form Tips

• Keep your knees tracking over your toes throughout the entire sumo deadlift movement • Start the lift by pushing the floor away with your feet, not pulling with your back • Keep the bar close to your body - it should almost drag up your legs during the sumo deadlift • Squeeze your glutes hard at the top and keep your shoulders back

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave inward instead of tracking over toes during the sumo deadlift • Starting with the bar too far from your shins, making the sumo deadlift harder on your back • Hyperextending your back at the top instead of just standing tall
