Sumo Deadlift

Sumo Deadlifts are a variation of the conventional deadlift that target the glutes, hamstrings and quads. To perform them, you need a barbell and some weight plates. Here are the steps:

1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing out slightly. Grip the barbell with your hands inside your legs, about shoulder-width apart. Keep your arms straight and your back flat.
2. Brace your core and inhale as you lower your hips and bend your knees until your shins touch the bar. Look forward and keep your chest up.
3. Exhale as you drive through your heels and extend your hips and knees to lift the bar off the floor. Keep the bar close to your body and squeeze your glutes at the top.
4. Inhale as you lower the bar back to the floor in a controlled manner, keeping your back flat and your core tight. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
