Setting Up For Sumo Deadlifts Mobility WOD

December 2, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Kelly Starrett and Jesse Burdick of Powerwod.com show you how to set up for the sumo deadlift.

Load ordering sequencing rules apply.

  • screw feet into the floor
  • load hip first
  • back flat
  • knees out, external rotation of legs creates torque
  • re-tension, loading the hamstrings
  • pull yourself into position
