Alright, make sure you know these fitness tips so you can work smarter and harder!

Which deadlift allows you to lift heavier weights?

So deadlift #1 is called a sumo deadlift. In the sumo deadlift, the upper body is primarily locked off in a fixed position and the legs become the main driver ofd the movement.

Deadlift #2 also known as the conventional deadlift, involves your entire posterior chain. That means everything from the back is involved in motion. Because of the pivot points and range of motion for this compound movement, it’s normally used as a back exercise.

Depending on the person, you’ve probably seen some people PR really heavy sumo and other people argue that they PR in the conventional deadlift easier.

So, if you assume someone has a perfectly balanced physique with no muscle groups overpowering the other, the answer is in the mechanics. Because of its start stance, the sumo deadlift range of motion is is naturally smaller than the conventional.

The best example is sheer standing. How much harder is it for you to touch the ground with your legs straight, vs with your split?

Because of its smaller range of motion, assuming you have a balanced physique, you will find an easier time completing reps of heavier weights with sumo deadlifts!

Hope that helps!
