Barbell Sumo Deadlift High Pulls

1 - Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width and your toes slightly turned out, with the barbell on the floor over the midfoot.
2 - Hinge at the hips and bend your knees to grip the bar with both hands inside your legs using an overhand grip.
3 - Set your back flat, brace your core, keep your chest up, and position your shoulders slightly in front of the bar.
4 - Drive through your heels and extend your hips and knees to lift the bar upward, keeping it close to your body.
5 - As the bar passes the hips, explosively extend the hips and shrug the shoulders, then pull the elbows high and outside to bring the bar toward upper chest height.
6 - Lower the bar in a controlled path back down close to the body, returning to the starting position with a flat back.
7 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining a strong hip drive and avoiding pulling with the arms too early.
