would sumo deadlifting increase your squat and conventional pull?

[yamahaguitarguy]

I have never done sumo deads before but I have read that they are mainly a leg and hip movement so I was wondering if increasing my sumo deadlift would help with squat strength? Also, I guess increasing your sumo would help a bit in your conventional pull?

I was thinking of doing something like:

week 1: conventional pulls

week2: assistance work such as lockouts or something like that, maybe just hammer the faurk out of my back with rows and such to bring up weaknesses?

week3: no deadlifting

week4: sumo deadlift.

Probably depends how you squat, if you have a wide stance it might help abit

im a tall guy so my stance is kind of wide with my toes pointed out

just choose one and stick with it.

a lot of people say pulling sumo helps your squat. i haven't noticed any squat increases since i started pulling sumo though

Im tall aswell and squat with a wide stance (think westside wide) but pull conventional, mainly because i suck at sumo, but i did sumo for a while with not much noticable effect on my conventional

but did you notice better squat gains while pulling sumo or nothing too noticeable?

Nothing too noticable, maybe just a little bit

Pulling sumo, especially from a deficit, has helped my conventional.

just deadlift more. why would you only pull 2x per month + some lockout assistance?

pulling sumo can help your conventional lockout and vice versa.

deadlifting to build a squat doesn't really work.
