The sumo deadlift is a frequently used variation on the traditional deadlift and with the exception of foot and hand placement, the lifting techniques used for sumo and conventional deadlift styles are pretty similar. Many powerlifters use a sumo deadlift technique, because it allows them to lift more weight than the conventional deadlift.
To perform the sumo deadlift in competition, a powerlifter pulls the weight until the lifter is upright with the shoulders back and the knees are locked. During the deadlift, the powerlifter must lift the weight without stepping backwards or forwards.
The floor press is a powerlifting exercise which can be used to greatly improve your bench press strength.
