Place the barbell or kettlebell on the ground, centered between your feet. Make sure it's easily reachable.

Bend down, keeping your back straight. Bend at your hips and knees to reach the bar. Imagine you're sitting back into a chair. This protects your lower back.

Grab the bar with both hands, keeping your hands inside your legs. Your grip should be firm but not tense.

Lift the weight by pushing through your heels. Straighten your legs and hips at the same time. Think about pushing the ground away from you.

As the bar passes your knees, explosively drive your hips forward and shrug your shoulders. Pull the bar up towards your chest. Your elbows should point outwards.

Bring the bar up to your chest, using the power from your legs and hips. Don't rely solely on your arms.

Slowly lower the bar back to the ground, reversing the movement. Keep your back straight and the bar close to your body.

Keep your back straight throughout the entire exercise. This prevents injuries and helps you lift more effectively. Focus on keeping your spine in a neutral position.

Kettlebell Sumo High Pull: This uses a kettlebell instead of a barbell. It's great for building grip strength and coordination because the kettlebell's shape makes you move differently, working your legs and shoulders more.

Why it's good: The kettlebell's weight distribution makes you work harder to control the movement, which helps with balance and stability. It's also a good choice if you don't have access to a barbell.

Barbell Sumo Deadlift: This focuses mostly on your legs, but it also works your upper body and core. The wide stance (sumo style) is easier on your back than a regular deadlift for some people.

• Rounded Back: Keep your back straight throughout the lift. A rounded back puts a lot of pressure on your spine and can cause pain or injury. Imagine a straight line from your head to your heels.

• Weak Core Engagement: Tighten your stomach muscles before and during the lift. This helps stabilize your body and prevents injury. Think about pulling your belly button towards your spine.

• Pulling with Arms First: Start the lift by pushing through your legs, like you're jumping. Only use your arms to guide the weight upward after the powerful leg drive. This makes the lift much safer and more effective.

Improving Your Form:

• Use a Mirror: Watch yourself in a mirror to check your posture and make sure you're following the steps correctly.

• Get Coaching: A trainer can give you personalized feedback and help you fix any mistakes in your form.

• Start Light: Begin with lighter weights until you feel comfortable and confident with the movement.

Good form is key to getting the most out of this exercise and to avoid injuries.

Start by standing with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out. This is the 'sumo' stance, which helps you lift more weight.

Bend down and grab the weight (dumbbells or a barbell) with an overhand grip, keeping your back straight. Your back should remain straight throughout the lift. Imagine a straight line from your head to your heels.

Keeping your back straight, lift the weight up by extending your legs. Think about pushing through your heels.

Once the weight is near your hips, use the momentum to quickly pull it up towards your chest. Your elbows should lead the movement, pulling them high.

As the weight reaches chest height, let your elbows bend slightly to absorb the weight's impact. This helps prevent injuries.

Lower the weight slowly back to the starting position, controlling the movement throughout.

Focus on controlled movements. Avoid jerking or using too much momentum. Smooth and controlled movements will help you lift heavier and safer.

Start with a weight you can easily handle to master the form before increasing the weight.

If you're new to this exercise, it's a good idea to have someone show you the correct form or watch videos demonstrating proper technique.
