Sumo Dead Lift This simple leg lift can help build strong and powerful legs. Stronger legs give you more explosion and faster movements.
Description
  1. Approach the bar with feet slightly wider than shoulder width and toes pointed outward.
  2. Squat down and grip the bar at shoulder width with thumbs pointing towards each other. (Inside of legs, which are wider that shoulder width)
  3. Keep your arms straight and lift the bar to waste level, making sure the legs do the work rather than the back.
  4. Slowly lower the weight to its original position.
Things to Keep in Mind
  • Wear a belt and lift with your legs, not back. Keeping your back straight helps insure this.
  • Keep your eyes ahead and chin up. This also insures that you lift properly with your legs.
