How To Perform the Sumo Deadlift

  1. Start by standing with a wide stance, feet pointed slightly outward, and a barbell positioned over the middle of your feet.
  2. Bend at your hips and knees to lower your body, grasping the barbell with a mixed or double overhand grip inside your legs.
  3. Keep your chest up, back straight, and core engaged as you begin to lift the barbell by extending your hips and knees simultaneously.
  4. Continue lifting until you're standing upright with your shoulders back and hips fully extended.
  5. Lower the barbell back to the ground by bending at your hips and knees, maintaining a straight back throughout the movement.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions. Inhale as you lower the barbell and exhale as you lift.
