Sumo Deadlift

Start with the barbell on the ground. Stand so that the bar of the bar is above the middle of the foot. The legs should be very wide apart, near the pancakes. Bend your knees and grab the barbell. Hands should be between legs, shoulders above the bar. You can use pronated or mixed grip. Relax your shoulders, this will lengthen your arms a little. Look forward, bend your back at the waist. Take a breath and start lifting the barbell. Keep your back arched. When the bar is above the knees, complete the lift by pushing the pelvis forward while straightening the knees and bringing the shoulder blades together. Return the bar to the ground.
