The sumo deadlift is one of the best leg and back exercises that you could possibly do. Most people are often afraid of the exercise or do it incorrectly. Don’t be worried though! Today, Jordan Syatt is going to show you how to do the sumo deadlift - the RIGHT WAY.
1. Stance
1. We like to go a little bit wider than shoulder apart.
1. Toes in-line with knees
2. Stand close to the bar
1. Feel the Steel
2. Grip
1. Let your arms hang
2. Set your butt back behind you, until your hands grip the bar
3. Hands inside your knees
4. Try and do double overhand until you can’t do that grip anymore due to heavyweight
5. Grip the bar with your fingers - not your palms
3. Pre-Lift
1. Spread the floor with your feet
1. Think about pushing the floor away
2. Hips as high as possible with nipples pointing towards the wall in front of you.
4. Lift
1. Stand it up and squeeze your butt
2. Don’t shrug the bar or bend your elbows

[@richidavies7944]

I was about to type the same massage!

[@gottachubbie638]

Hadn’t deadlifted in 5 months due to back pain. Tried sumo’s today for the first time ever after watching this video. Got up to 315x1. No pain. Implement these tips cuz they work!

[@tonybarfridge4369]

Gotta Chubbie same, and built up to 8x320 so far and still progressing. Back pain gone

Same struggling with a bit of back pain but really want to DL

[@tyronesblack7639]

@@ShoaibKhan-bz5qm my back is completely fine with sumo it’s just my hips are hurting a lil

[@IvanVukusicslothyaa]

Holy hell. Where have you been in my life. Not overly produced. Gets to the point. Points out things I wouldn't have thought of. Thank u brutha!!!

[@SLouiss]

I like all of your videos. The 7 minute video length works well for me. I don’t always have time for the longer videos. Nice description on spreading the floor. Thanks for the helpful Sumo Deadlift tips!

[@ejk4555]

damn dude that money crack metaphor just answered/explained 3 years worth of my questions and deficiencies in muscular intelligence surrounding leg training - completely blew my mind & just did 4 of, by far and away, the most efficient, properly loaded deadlifts I've ever done

[@ref1c]

Explanation was crystal clear. After watching 10 different videos, I understand the most from this one. Thank you.

[@jomaix]

This channel is THE BEST KZbin Channel there is. Thanks so much!

[@davidcomrie6820]

Very helpful video. Thank you for this tutorial! I have been struggling with getting sumo deadlifts right but now I think I get it!

[@a_woman_who_loves_to_lift]

Jordan's self-deprecation aside at the beginning, his sumo tutorial is clear, helpful, and showcases his talents as a trainer who is able to communicate important technique points to ordinary people in an effective way. I have always performed conventional deadlifting because sumo never felt right to me but I never had Jordan teach it to me until now, so I'm excited to give it another go. Thanks so much, Jordan!

[@adnanahmed9044]

Best straight up no unnecessary details..jordans the best when it comes to explaining exercises.

[@veloz7860]

THanks so much for this, I love all the visualizations / checkpoints about having a good form. Has helped me a lot!

[@alexmaximizingtime]

Aligning the direction of the toes with the direction of the knees is just what I needed. Thank you!

[@sexxymami74]

OMG! I've watched so many sumo DL explanations.. And THIS BY FAR was the best and HELPED me correct a lot of mistakes/difficulties I been having!! THANK YOU.❤🙏

[@connorcookbird]

This really covered every question I came up with when I was watching a shorter video. Love how every detail in the lift is brought up in the video

[@JDLady70]

BEST EXPLANATION ON THE WEB!!!! Jordan rocks.

[@dadofcad]

This is definitely by far the best explanation for Sumo deadlift! Thank you so much

[@davidwilson2337]

So well explained, best video so far!!! Thank you sir!!

[@spm_hcmc]

I've pretty much only done sumo deadlifts. I'm the only person in the gym that does them. Not many people overall do full deadlifts and the ones that do go the traditional way. I do get some odd looks, but the form just feels so much more natural for my body type. My favorite exercise. I do about 40 reps over 5 sets and then I'm ready for bed.

[@mrsj9548]

Wow I love this video so informative thank you so much for sharing this information
