Like all deadlifts, the sumo deadlift can exercise the muscles of the legs, back, buttocks, hands, arms, shoulders and other muscles. However, unlike the traditional deadlift, which is the bent-leg deadlift, the sumo deadlift is more Can exercise legs and buttocks.
In traditional deadlifts, the force exerted on the legs and back is almost equally divided. Many trainers tend to exert more force on the back, and most people also perform bent-leg deadlifts as back training. The sumo deadlift relies more on power from the legs and hips.
2. Exercise back muscles
No matter what deadlift method you use, your back muscles are needed to maintain core stability and conduct force transmission. Although the back deadlift of the sumo deadlift is reduced compared to the traditional deadlift, the force exerted in the movement is still very large, and it is still one of the most important parts of the exercise, second only to the legs.
3. Exercise abdominal core muscles
During the sumo-style deadlift, it is necessary to maintain the stability of the core, maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine, and help conduct force. Not only does the back need to exert force, but the abdominal core muscles will also be involved to keep them tight, thereby Ensure the rigidity of the upper body. Therefore, the sumo deadlift also works the abdominal core muscles. Of course, it doesn’t do much for your abdominal core muscles.
4. Exercise arm muscles
The arm muscles are an important part of lifting the barbell in the sumo deadlift. During the entire deadlift, the arm muscles are always in a state of contraction and maintain force. Therefore, the arm muscles are also one of the training parts of the sumo deadlift.

No matter what deadlift you are doing, you need to rely on your hands to grasp the weight to pull it up. In this, the grip strength provided by the palm muscles plays a very important role.
