What's your preferred deadlift form?

[NewmanJosh]

Being 6'5 deads are awkward sometimes and I've always had back rounding problem with conveniental. I've been watching dan greene a lot so I tried his form. Double over hook grip and wide sumo. Feels so much more comfortable for me.

Wbu brahs?

Whys that?

[pumpingironat14]

Conventional for sure, still don't like sumo deadlifts, don't do a lot of them either. I have standard plates (much smaller than 45lb plates) so I start off very low, unless I put something under the weights or bar...

[ErikTheElectric]

Sumos > all

Agreed I can pull so much better sumo style man. I feel it hits more to. Ever watch dan greene??

[wutisluv]

I feel like I can pull more conventional but sumo feels so much more natural.

Sumo just feels much stronger to me. Gonna work on conventional for a while after my meet though. Dan Green doesn't pull hook grip btw.

[ErikTheElectric]

Josh, have you started working on your form yet?

[xBONExCROWNx]

From where I'm stocky with broad shoulders I deadlift strongman style.

It's between sumo and conventional when it comes to foot placement. A little wider than conventional but not as wide as sumo, with your hands outside your legs with your hands and arms touching your legs.

I pull sumo too sometimes for am accessory movement. My sumo pull is usually about 50 pounds behind my normal pull.

It's best to do all variations of deadlift in your workout.

My workout will be like this for a light day

Competition deadlift stance - 8 sets of 2
Sumo deadlift - 2 sets of 5
Block deadlift - 2 sets of 5
Close stance deficit deadlift - 2 sets of 5


I don't pull much though.
This last 10 week training cycle before my meet (2 and a half months) I only deadlifted like 3 times.

From where my deadlift and squat stance are so similar, the only difference being I angle my toes more on squat, my deadlift is usually about 30-40 pounds behind my squat

So I know as long as my squats going up so is my deadlift

Focused on that today. Kept weight under 405 and back was straight. Felt nice. Sumo helps

[meaantje]

there is no reason why you cant have a straight back with conventional deads.


sumo is more legs than conventional so less back. Thats why you can prolly have a straight back..

I disagree..

Conventional: more quads and glutes
Sumo: more hips and lower back

Disagree. I agree that sumo uses more hips, it's pretty obvious to anyone who has deadlifted sumo. However look at the stance in sumo vs conventional. Individual leverages will play a part, but for the most part sumo is more upright while conventional has a torso angle closer to horizontal. With a more horizontal torso angle, the weight is pulling on your lower back more requiring greater isometric strength to hold that neutral spine. With sumo, the upright posture means your quads do most of the work breaking the weight off of the ground. And because your knee joint is more closed with sumo, your quads must be used more to achieve full knee extension. I also feel that sumo uses glutes more however I'm not sure of the reason why on that one.

None of this is that big of a deal in the end, the important thing is just to lift. Congrats on the meet by the way, very impressive stuff.

Hey bud, I'm not as popular on here as you (lack of time to post), so you may not recognize me. Wanted to ask how your cut is coming along.

I only dead lift conventional. I am 6'4" and my current PR is 425 lbs x 1 when I was bulking at 221 lbs. (I have vid proof of 405 but not 425)

Just a poser

[SUAS]

I train both, I actually prefer sumo because it looks cooler (lol) but it is quite a way behind my conventional.

[GoodGeneticsPls]

I also feel that sumo uses glutes more however I'm not sure of the reason why on that one.

Heh interestingly Candito just uploaded a video on this very question.



tl;dw : there's no definitive answer either way lol

[Bballer99]

modified sumo

ed coan+fuzzy style

[DarylAng1996]

Conventional, can't pull sumo because my groin couldn't take it.
