If you want to learn how to pull bigger weights while keeping your back healthy, here’s exactly how I coach and cue the sumo deadlift!
But let’s start with a moment of honesty – deadlifting is just flat out FUN.
I don’t know about you, but there’s no better feeling than having some loud music, gripping that barbell, and giving it a ride that really gets the adrenaline pumping.
But with that being said, not everyone is built to pull conventional – especially if you have a history of lower back issues.

Sumo deadlifts are great for any lifter that has adequate hip mobility, strong legs, or just wants to protect their lower back when pulling.
So today I want to share with you the EXACT set-up and coaching cues I used to pull a 3x bodyweight deadlift back in my powerlifting days.
Now let’s get in the gym and start pulling!
Next time you’re in give these tips a shot – I guarantee it will help you sumo deadlift more safely and effectively!
All the best,
MR
