Sumo deads vs. standard style

[MotoLifter]

this thread might belong in the lifting technique forum, if it does feel free to move it. (I like this forum better). Does anyone use the sumo style for DLs, or tried it. What advantages does it offer as opposed to the standard DL style. I use the over/under hand position but was thinking about trying sumo to see what it offers. Any input would be cool. Thanks guys.

I used to try it out a lot when I was powerlifting.

Kinna like it.. I got to a point where I could do more sumo..

Sumo the ROM is of course much less and I feel it in my legs and hips a lil more

Sumo Deads emphasize the glutes and hams more than traditional deads I used to do sumos on my leg day to smash my glutes......

I switch it up every week from SLDL to Sumo deads. I personally like the feel of both.

sumo- less back more glutes and
conventinal more back less glutes

imo conventinal hts hamstrings better than sumo, but both exercises willwork the hamstrings indirectly anyway,

i pull sumo for contest lifting, if i was doing deads for BBing purpose or size, i wouldnt use sumo, i would go conv.
