Short instructions

How to do Sumo Deadlift

Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.

  1. 1

    Set the starting position

    Stand with a wide stance and toes turned out comfortably, place the bar over mid-foot, grip it inside the knees, brace the trunk, and set the hips so the shoulders are slightly in front of the bar.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Exhale and push the floor apart while extending the knees and hips together; keep the bar close, knees tracking with the toes, and spine neutral.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

  3. 3

    Control the end position

    Finish tall with knees and hips extended, shoulders over the pelvis, and no backward lean or shoulder shrug.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Inhale, hinge the hips back, then bend the knees to guide the bar straight down to the floor while maintaining the wide stance and a braced neutral spine.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared Sumo Deadlift setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
