I actually can't sumo. I've tried a few times but it just feels to alien to me. Like I can do sets of five at 415 conventional but even a mere 3pl8 sumo I feel off balance so I haven't really tried it since. I just like that it completely triggers morons like you lolololol
It's part of the cancer that is killing powerlifting. ROM minmaxing will be the death of powerlifting.

I get that it can't outright replace the traditional deadlift but dont sumos target your glutes and hamstrings differently?

The only people who talk shit about sumo are weak homosexuals who can't do them. Seriously though I think it has alot to do with proportions and body mechanics, some can lift way more with sumo, some with conventional, do both and max out on which ever one feels best
There's nothing bad about them, they just aren't deadlifting.
Like imagine I told you I set a new squat PR in a smith machine. Cool, that's nice, you'll probably get stronger, but it isn't a squat. There's nothing wrong with doing them, but don't pretend it's a different lift.
They're just gay.
Imagine if someone gave you their decline bench instead of flat bench when you ask "sowuddayah bench?".
That's a sumo puller, and they're all gay.
They're like trannies competing against women. Everyone claps and acts like it's fair, but everyone knows it isn't and hates you.

Sumo or correct deadlifts- I just think both get way too much attention these days. I'm not saying they are useless just that they shouldn't get equal billing with squat or bench press. The reason I think they are so popular today is people have fun and feel cool loading the bar up.
Watch any woman deadlifting and 99 times out of ten she will be pulling sumo.
Sumo is the girls deadlift. Sumo is the gays deadlift. Sumo is the manlet deadlift. It's fricking weaksauce bro. Conventional or bust.
Theres nothing wrong with it, it just makes people sperg out that there's two ways to deadlift, although they should not be counted towards as the same exercise, much how you wouldn't treat front squats the same as you would treat normal squats.
I myself am considering trying them out on some alternating days, although I am happy hitting 315lb x 3 reps @ 160lb 5'10" while on my summer bod cut using traditional form.
My core doesnt tolerate tradlifts so I do sumo. Way less burn out on my lowerback, letting me go until my grip strength gives out. Good for strengthening pelvis.
Nothing. It's great for shitposting and bait.
found the ultra moron sumo lifters

Never forget to lock your knees
Shorter rom ego lifting knee busters
I get that it can't outright replace the traditional deadlift but dont sumos target your glutes and hamstrings differently?
Yes and quads and lower back
If you can't lift a weight you shouldn't cheat to pretend you can
There's nothing wrong with them, thanks for shitting up the board jackass.
Shortens ROM so "people" can copelift.

They're almost all legs, no back
Nothing. They're fine. I prefer conventional because I'm better at it though
Just frick my knees up senpai
Add minimum range of motions, the weight has to move 18 inches or whatever is proper
They're just gay.

Let's be real, deadlifting in general is popular because dummies feel cool loading the bar up with alot of weight.
I'm not saying it is a useless workout but it gets way too much attention these days.

Gee, I wonder why.
post deadlift
there's literally no point from a strength perspective. it's like doing a quarter leg press
Theres nothing wrong with it, it just makes people sperg out that there's two ways to deadlift, although they should not be counted towards as the same exercise, much how you wouldn't treat front squats the same as you would treat normal squats.

Nothing. Just dont only/mostly do them. Same with front squats
The Jefferson deadlift is the one true deadlift.
My core doesnt tolerate tradlifts so I do sumo. Way less burn out on my lowerback, letting me go until my grip strength gives out. Good for strengthening pelvis.
