Thread: sumo vs conventional deadlift

conventional works more lower back and sumo works more legs.

i dont necessarily do sumo but i do a stance wider than conventional. am i cheating myself on my lower back developement by this?

im thinking i can use wider stance to bring my total deadlift numbers up which will still work lower back and then i can go back and do true conventional deadlifts and my numbers on conventional deads will have increased from the wider stance deads?

id rather have conventional deadlifts because my legs already get worked enough with squats

update- went back to gym to check. get the same weight up with both stances so not much of a difference thats all i was worried about. like i said i dont do sumo just had a slightly wider stance
