Master the SUMO DEADLIFT with these Form Tips

Here are some things to keep in mind when performing sumo deadlifts:

1. Wedge your feet in: place your feet at a comfortable angle, making sure your foot positioning is even on each side. After this step, don’t change your foot positioning any more!

2. Engage your lats/ close your armpits: you can think about pulling your arms in towards you or “closing your armpits” and squeezing your lats. Maintain this position throughout the pull.

3. Pull the slack out of the bar: pull on the bar enough that it’s about to come off of the ground. With heavier weights, this might cause the bar to bend.

4. Push the ground away: in the first half of the lift (until the bar reaches your knees) focus on pushing the floor away as hard as you can.

5. Push your hips forward: after the bar passes your knees, focus on pushing your hips forward to complete the lift.

Hips too high, chest too low. No hip drive. This is basically a weighted back extension. Sit lower, chest up, and drive with the hips.

These tips really helped me refine my sumo deadlift technique. I've been struggling with my form, especially the foot positioning.

[geoffreya]

You need to get you hips higher and keep your CHEST UP!!!! Your basically doing back extensions at this point

[MeltingTheta]

No sweetheart, you did it wrong. You're gonna mess up your lower back like that.

[BotiHUN]

Missed the part where you pull the slack lol

[Bitcoinkingz]

Chest more upright hips down vertical shins. Look at squat university’s video on sumo deadlifts.

[Derqem]

looks more like a conventional with a wide stance than a sumo

[jcboy]

You forgot to lean back, putting pressure on your hams before lifting up. You lifted you butt up first, engagging your lower back more. But whatever, just as long you dont injure your back if you go heavy.

[WhiteChocolate]

Imagine like an instagram model how their X-ray shows a large curve in their spine and do that with you hips about vertical to your knees

[Cogito_ergo-sum]

Whith thath form just pull conventional at this point, for sumo deadlift sink your hips try to make your hips as close as possible to the bar shoulders perpendicular to the bar

[echa-ht]

Too wide and the distance between feet does too far

[Tony_sbd_qc]

Your form is not good to be honest keep working on it you’ll do it perfectly after time

[azizaziz]
