How to perform?

The sumo deadlift is a variation of the conventional deadlift, in which the lifter adopts a wider stance and places their hands inside their legs. This exercise places more emphasis on the glutes and inner thighs, while also reducing the range of motion required by the lower back. The primary muscles targeted include the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, while the erector spinae, adductors, abductors, and traps act as secondary muscles. The calves and forearms may also be engaged to a lesser extent.
