Sumo Deadlift With Chains
A variation of the traditional deadlift to increase strength, featuring a sumo stance and additional chain resistance.
Instructions
- Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, with toes slightly pointing out.
- Bend at the hips and knees to grip the barbell, keeping the chest up and back straight.
- Attach chains to both ends of the barbell for additional resistance.
- Engage the core, and drive through the heels to lift the barbell, extending hips and knees fully.
- Lower the bar back to the starting position with controlled movement.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much weight, compromising form.
- Allowing the back to round during the lift.
- Not engaging the core, leading to instability.
- Improper foot placement affecting balance and power.
- Jerking the bar rather than moving in a controlled manner.
