Sumo Deadlift then 15 min AMRAP
“The definition of a sumo deadlift is a deadlift where the feet are on the outside, and the hands are on the inside. Typically a taller lifter will have a wider stance to make up for their longer limbs, while a shorter lifter will choose a narrower stance. If you have tight hips when starting sumo, you will be better off with a narrow stance. As you become accustomed to sumo, you edge your feet out more and more to find where you can move the most amount of weight.”¹ If you really want to get into the details, check out this article by Pro Strongman Matt Mills.
And here’s some handy work to get to before and after your workout today–maybe even once more before you go to bed and again tomorrow morning…
