How to Perform a Sumo Deadlift and the 3 Most Common Mistakes

Sumo deadlifts are an incredible exercise for strengthening the glutes and hamstrings. They may also be a safer alternative to conventional deadlifts depending on your body type.

Sumo Deadlifts are not simply deadlifts with a wider stance though. If you perform them like a conventional deadlift, they’ll be a lower-back dominant movement.

To use the entire posterior chain, practice the following technique tips.
1. Set your stance.
2. Spread the floor with your feet.
3. Drive your knees out while lowering yourself to the bar.
4. Drop the butt down(only a few inches) while raising and opening your chest.
5. You’re now ready to lift the bar by engaging the hips, glutes and back.

Watch out for these 3 most common mistakes.
1. Rounded Back
2. Hyperextending at the top
3. Bending the arms
