Sumo Deadlift High-pull Weightlifting

All Time 1 year 6 months 3 months

Description

Using a sumo deadlift stance and grip (see "sumo deadlift"), stand until the barbell gets to mid/upper thigh height. Without stopping the upward momentum of the bar, violently extend the knees and hips. Finish the movement by flexing the elbows, pulling the barbell upwards until it reaches neck height. Elbows should sit above the bar at the end of the movement, not below. This is not a reverse curl. The sumo deadlift high pull is great for learning proper progression for power generation. The knees and hips must extend before the arms ever bend.
