Sumo Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Please position your shins 3cm away from the barbell.

2. Spread your legs one step wider than shoulder-width, and turn your toes out at a 40-50 degree angle.

3. Bend your knees and hips to make your shins vertical, and grip the barbell at shoulder-width.

4. Keep your chest up and maintain tension in your back and lower body.

Proper Form

1. Move your hips back while lifting the barbell forward.

2. Push against the floor and apply pressure to the center of your feet.

3. When you are fully upright, puff out your chest and contract your entire posterior.

4. Move your hips back again and bend your knees to return to the starting position.
