Bending over and pulling a weight off the floor ranks as one of the biggest testosterone-builders on the planet. Not only will it help to plant more muscle virtually everywhere on the body, it also helps to build grip and core strength, two huge benefits for nearly every lifter.
The deadlift emphasises hip extension, making it crucial for developing the hamstrings and glutes and building lower body strength for jumping and athletic endeavours.
A Sumo Deadlift is a much more technical lift than the conventional deadlift and it takes time to learn it. As the name implies, the sumo deadlift forces lifters to assume a wide stance bringing them closer to the ground and allowing them to keep their torso up taller. The sumo stance is a powerful exercise to help develop your hips and entire posterior chain.
The sumo deadlift doesn't require as much ankle or thoracic spine mobility, so those with poor mobility who can't get in the proper position for conventional deadlifts can often pull sumo without any problem.
