Soothing music really matches the vibe

[miloraddjurdjic]

BEST VIDEO I've seen about the sumo deadlift

[devilwearsgold]

idk how ppl think this is cheating (unless your in a competition then maybe) it’s just a different way to approach doing deadlifts

[optimalorlando]

Grip seems to be too narrow, I have my arms in line with my shoulders

[gillkill]

your grip is not supposed to be so close together like that

[scotho]

Recipe for a shoulder injury. Hands should be shoulder width at least.

[p.maesthetics]

Grip should be shoulder width or wider, that grip looks horrible, that's the reason why is clicked on this video, it's to see what the comments said about the dumb looking deadlift

[WiseOneSun]

what shoe is Julie wearing? I want a pair!

[saketmehrotra]

I do this in my gym and my trainer will beat the shit out of me.

What happened to Gregg glassman not recognizing the sumo deadlift? Lmao finally

[michaelgarrett]

This is 100% a sumo squat. Not a deadlift

[DosCylindros]

Cool, why don't you go ahead and publish the games workouts so we can finally watch

[HughResnick]

Apropos of nothing: the music in this clip is wonderfully, hilariously inappropriate. 😄

[gianlucaragusa]

Hands position is wrong...should be under the shoulders ..not so close

[CarolVieira]

This looks like a sumo squat and not dl

[fjalkinge]
