Show Notes
At PRS we believe that the sumo deadlift and conventional deadlift are actually extremely similar and should be executed exactly the same.
We've identified only three differences between the conventional deadlift and in this podcast episode we dive into them!
- Stance - how we set our feet relative to our knees & why we don't recommend going too wide
- Toe Position - dictated relative to the hip position and thigh position
- Grip Width - inside your feet with one issue for small people
In addition to the three differences between sumo and conventional deadlift, we discuss a common issue people face with their hands, thighs, and hook grip.
We discuss why you can lift more weight with sumo even though you may not be getting optimally strong.
Lastly, we discuss when and why we would recommend sumo versus conventional and why it's important to train both simultaneously if you decide to compete with sumo deadlift.
