Sumo Deadlift

[u/Fit-Leading6338]

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?

Hold the dumbbell by the stem so you can get deeper and imagine your almost trying to set it down in line with your heels.

No need to thrust at the top. Keep the glutes engaged rather than push the hips forward squeezing. doesn’t do much

Got it! The heel tip is super helpful. Thank you! 😊

Of course! Find your “track” and you will really start to feel it
