    Does anyone know anything about sumo deadlifts? Can you get an effective upper back / trapz workout with it? I don't like doing standard deadlifts because it hurts my lower back.

    • Work on your lowerback muscles, what your body is telling you is that you have a deficit in one of your muscle groups and you need to work on it to keep up.zarkonite
    • But yeah, technically a sumo deadlift doesn't recruit your lowerback as much in the initial stages of the lift. Overall however, won't be much of a difference.zarkonite
    • It's a mix of deadlift and squat but no stress on your backrobotron3k
