Sumo deadlifts saved my ability to perform the deadlift. I was never able to get my back into a proper position to do conventional deadlift, and I think that that played a role in the back injury I suffered in the spring. I believe this has as much to do with my body composition as anything else. So I began testing out the sumo deadlift, and it has allowed me to maintain a neutral spine position and utilize my hamstrings and glutes much more than my lower back which has saved me from further injury. Deadlift like a freak!
I recorded this workout but unfortunately I cut off my own head so I'll just have to try again some other time.
