Sumo Deadlift Setup Tips

This video explains how to position yourself for a good sumo pull in three steps: 1. Set up with the bar over your midfoot (more foot cues: https://barbend.com/squat-cue-rethink/) 2. Load the quads by pushing the knees forward WHILE maintaining tension in the posterior chain. If you lose tightness in the glutes, hamstrings or adductors, you've gone too far. 3. Hinge back to allow yourself to grab the bar, still maintaining that tightness in the lower body. If you set up properly, it will be easier to maintain a straight bar path during the lift itself.
