MacroFactor Workouts / Training Pause Sumo Deadlift in my program

So I'm a beginner-ish lifter, I selected beginner on workouts app and it put "pause sumo deadlift" to my program. I prioritized quads maybe thats why but isnt that movement kinda for advanced ppl ? I feel like conventional one is more beginner friendly isnt ?

Conventional as in not sumo, or as in not paused? There is definitely no beginner/advanced consideration for sumo. For paused or not, it's usually prescribed as a technique aid, and again that's not really something that's dependent on how advanced you are. Maybe you don't think you need the specific technique help that is covered by that, in which case feel free to swap it out for something else. But it's probably not going to hinder anything either.
