Sumo Deadlift with Bands
The Sumo Deadlift with Bands is a powerlifting movement that targets your hamstrings. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Sumo Deadlift with Bands
- Set up the bands under the plates or around the bar so tension increases as you rise.
- Take your sumo stance, grip inside your legs, and build full-body tension before initiating the pull.
- Accelerate through the entire lift — the bands punish any deceleration at the top.
- Control the descent as band tension reverses and pulls the bar down faster than a straight bar would.
