Sumo Deadlift

Start by standing over the bar with feet at least shoulder width apart. Hinge down into position with a straight back, pushing your hips to the wall behind you. Grasp the bar with your arm shoulder width apart OR slightly wider if you choose an alternating grip. Lock your elbows, and ""pull"" your shoulder blades down and back to create tension in your back and the bar. Take a big breath to brace your core and keep it tight. ""Spread the floor"" by driving your feet down and apart as if you were trying to rip a sheet of paper with your feet to active your glutes and lift the bar. Shoulders and hips should move in unison. Lock out with a tall spine and squeezing the glutes. Return the bar to the ground by keep everything locked and hinging like you did to start the movement.",
