Sumo Deadlifts vs Conventional Deadlifts

[JFraser1]

Which one do you prefur and why?

[MiketheSwede]

Regular deads work more of the muscles I'm interested in. Only reason I used to do Sumo is to lift lots of weight. (shorter distance to lift)

[spirit3530]

Neither, I do both in different phases.

[RipStone]

Both.

I am naturally a better sumo puller because of how I'm built. Thus, I can pull more sumo.

However, conventional pulls are a great supplemental lift to pull more sumo because they help strengthen the lower back moreso than sump pulls do, at least for my build.

[SemiShred]

normal deads for me, makes it more of a back exercise...which it's supposed to be.

[bigeddiez]

i like trap bar deads the best

I have been working sumo but I believe my body structure is more suited to conventional.

[papi93]

My body is better suited for pulling with sumos. It is easier to maintain a neutral position of the lower back, for me.

[Febs]

Conventional.I just prefer the "feel" of it.

I'm the opposite, my body's more suited to pulling sumo - short arms, long torso and legs but I still pull conventional as i've gotten used to the movement after a long time doing it.
