Sumo VS Conventional

(PS: In this video we were doing the pause DL variation)

Stance & set-up:

• Sumo - Wider stance, feet turned out 30-45 degrees, hands grip inside the knees, hips close to the floor, torso more upright (shoulder align with bar).

• Conventional - Feet hip width apart, hand grip outside the knee, hips sits higher, shoulders slightly over the bar.

Both lifts have value, but you need to understand your structure and your goals. Choose the stance that allows you to lift with the best leverage and most tension.
