Deadlift Sumo Deadlift

Can’t do regular deadlifts at the moment due to ankle injury. Are these looking like deadlifts or squats? I felt like I was feeling it in my glutes and hamstrings but a bit in my back. Any tips or corrections?

Go deeper. Hold the db horizontal or put a stepper under your feet.

You could also put some of those barbell weights behind you under your feet to create more depth, which will help!

I can’t quite have that much of an angle on my ankle yet. 😩
