I think that at the bottom position your hips are too high that way your torso is bent forward more than 45 degs I think that your torso should be more upright so you can be stronger and there is less stress on your spine at least I do it this way

[NiaShanks]

@youngthugga87 Like I mentioned previously, every person is different. Because of my limb and torso length along with my leverage, I am stronger with my hips higher up at the start. However, some people are stronger with the hips lower because of limb/torso length, etc.

Actually I can lift more weight by leaving more distance from the bar before bending my knees.

Your style puts me in a position where I feel I cannot apply my power, much like in a conventional deadlift.

You start with your torso very close to being parallel with the floor.

Ain't that the exact reason why so many people ditch conventional style and switch to Sumo?

A more upright torso at the start of the lift.

@christosswc Some people are more upright at the start of the lift, but I personally have more power that way. It all depends on your biomechanics, limb length, torso length, etc.

have you done it with a kettlebell?

[NiaShanks]

@tonylee1973 No, never tried a kettlebell. I usually use the KB for swings and snatches.

whats the difference between sumo dead lift and normal dead lift? thx

[fiddlebender88]

Thanks, I have thought about switching to sumo instead of a regular DL. I knew there was a variation to the DL that put more emphasis on the legs, but as I was standing in front of my bar now I wasn't really sure how to perform it with correct form. I need more power in my legs, lately my routine has become a bit too upper body focused.

@astarothification gotta love when people try to tell you how to do something and they end up embarrassing their selves

[Tisto20]

Sorry girl, your form isn`t really goodhere :S. Your stance is too narrow. So you dont manage too put ur hip & but in the optimal position imo.

Oh, I am one of those who tends to turn sumo deadlifts into a sumo squat. Good to know. I will correct my starting position. Thank you.

I was doing sumo deadlifts to see how they feel. A guy comes over: "thats not how you do deadlifts, those are going to make you're knees explode"

I say: "its called a sumo deadlift, i'm just trying it out"

He says: "you're not a sumo"

what?
