#Info – Barbell Sumo Deadlift
The Barbell Sumo Deadlift targets the hamstrings, glutes, and back. To avoid common mistakes, ensure your feet are wider than shoulder-width with toes slightly pointed out. Keep your chest up and back straight to prevent injury. Start with lighter weights to perfect your form, gradually increasing as you build strength. For beginners, consider using a trap bar for easier mechanics. Advanced lifters can add resistance bands for extra challenge. This exercise is beneficial for improving hip mobility and overall lower body strength. Ensure you warm up properly to maximize performance and reduce injury risk.
