🚨 Not everyone is stronger with the conventional deadlift! 

We’ve all heard the debates: sumo is cheating.

 Here’s  the scoop: there’s NO one-size-fits-all approach.

While some lifters do well with conventional deadlifts, others find their strength in the sumo stance. 🤷‍♂️ 

Sumo deadlifting involves a different technique that may provide a slight advantage to individuals with specific physical attributes, such as longer arms. This is why sumo deadlifting is more prevalent among lighter-weight classes. 

Although sumo and conventional deadlifts have their place, their choice should be based on an individual’s unique physical characteristics, sport, and lifting preferences.

Need help figuring out where to start? Try both! I often recommend programming sumo and conventional in the same block when working with a newer lifter. This approach can help determine which stance is the strongest and feels the most comfortable.

The best lift is the one that works for YOU! 💯
