    I mostly stick with sumo because whenever I do conventional, my lower back aches, but with sumo it doesn't.

      I think that’s why I plan on making the switch. As much as I love conventional even with near perfect form sometimes it can still be a little iffy

      My back pain relieves from conventional deadlifts and stays better for almost the whole week after the following day of training.

    I mostly stick with sumo because i have long legs but short arms so it’s somewhat hard to get comfortable in conventional but i’m implementing it soon

    I'm long legs, short torso, but I prefer sumo. I was just using it as a lighter variation, but as I was able to easily handle it, it caught up to the weights I was using for conventional. With my anatomy I still have a mostly horizontal back angle, but less so than with conventional.

  • @saraenglish05
    @saraenglish05 2 года назад +3

    My sumo feels better due to hip/back anatomy and prior injuries- I get less pain on sumo vs conventional so the choice was easy for me. I actually have long legs, long arms and an average torso. Sometimes you have to do what feels right for your body (especially if you’re about to crack 40, like me)

    I train both. I definitely prefer sumo for my back but conventional is easier to grip for some reason.

  • @maqeelafzal

    I believe,both are good,to even out muscle imbalances.
    If "Conventional Deadlift" I use "Sumo style" as an Assistance exercise, to workout on muscle of lower back and hips, whilst giving lower back a "Break"
    If someone is" Sumo" use "Conventional Deadlift to even out some imbalances.

    I do both as an experiment and sumo i can pull more weight, but i like convetional because it's harder to do, so it feels amazing when i hit a pr vs. when I do sumo, it's much easier so it feels like cheating and when i hit my pr with conventional i feel like im on top of the world with all the adrenaline pumping though my vains.

  • @dhruvmohil
    @dhruvmohil 2 года назад +9

    I think majority of the population would lift more weight with sumo. But conventional would have a better carryover to other lifts.
    So, Do sumo if goal= lift max weight possible.
    Do conventional if goal = become a all-round better athelete.
    Or just supplement both in your training program to reap the benifits of both.

    • @MikeXCSkier
      @MikeXCSkier 2 года назад

      Same proportions as you and I also pull the same amount for both sumo and conventional. I pull sumo because I have a messed up back and I feel that sumo puts my back in a "safer" position. Also, I want to continue with Olympic weightlifting and according to Juggernaut's own Max Aita, weightlifters should pull sumo because pulling conventional could introduce bad habits into the first pull of the clean. Contrary to what certain coaches may say, the first pull of the clean is *not* the same as a conventional deadlift, but they are similar enough that the nervous system could get "confused."
