Sumo Deadlift Tutorial - Part 2 w/ Jere Hess

www.visionfitnessofpa.com ... Home of Garage Ink powerlifting. Jere pulls 315 raw in the sumo position for the very first time. Jere's initial pull off the floor is slow...typical of sump technique. Jere's hip strength engages in the middle as bar speed increases. He senses falling backwards which causes him to slow then re-engage. Lock out is quicker than his conventional style. Falling backwards is the correct feeling to have with this technique. The pulling technique of sumo puts the force of the lift primarily on the hips and hamstrings, with less force placed on the lower back. Jere will quickly adapt to this new style and I see a progression to 601 very soon.

I just switched to sumo because after talking to a couple people It seems like a better option. sumo squats are going great but my for sumo deads I seem to always put my weight onto the balls of my feet instead of my heels.

@sjjdiienno1 Cool!!! Just make sure you have your toes turned out, the knees pushed outward to follow the path of the toes. Sit back, with shoulders back and push chest through! Drive your feet through the floor, and hips forward! You should feel like you are gonna fall over backwards at the top!!!!
