Sumo deadlifting tutorial with Ben Rice Universal Nutrition Athlete

[mattisgl]

Aren't you rounding your back on those heavy lifts? I'm not saying to hate, I'm simply asking to get a better understanding of what proper form looks like. thanks

You mentioned "spreading the floor" with your feet, may you please elaborate? On the standard deadlift I often think of "pushing the floor down" with my heels and then squeezing my glutes, do these same rule apply with sumo deadlifts?

[MrFlowseidon]

Just what i've been looking for man! Thanks for this video.

hey ben, i have a question. in the deadlift, can you teach or demonstrate how to use our abs like when deadlifting without a belt? for example are we supppose to still "push out" our abs and keep them right while pushed out, or are we suppose to just flex our abs and just pull like that. ????

Just stumbled across this vid, very informative best tutorial on here in my opinion. A couple of questions though on the start of the deadlift should your shins be touching the bar, and also with your toes pointing out is there a specific angle they should be pointed outwards as I've seen other vids on here of people pulling sumo where their toes are pointed out on more of a angle then in your vid. Any help would be greatly appreciated and keep up the vids very inspiring and informative.

@dngros the shins should ALWAYS be close to the bar. the barbell in general should be as close to the body as possible. toes pointing out. 30 degrees is good. the more u point it out, the more you have to "open up" your groins and force your knees out more.

hey man, i have a quick question about sumos. you said about using a mixed grip. do you change up which hand faces in/out? i could imagine that always having left in right out would develop imbalances both aesthetically and in your muscle gains.

[Rev198]

@WhatIsItToBurn I use a double overhand grip or a hook grip for my lighter sets and then switch to a mixed grip later on in the workout. as for imbalances I could imagine an imbalance being developed but I don't usually worry about it. Might try switching things up a bit though
