    How to: Sumo Deadlift High Pull

    1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards.
    2. Grip the barbell with both hands, palms facing you.
    3. Bend at the knees and hips to lower your torso down to grasp the bar.
    4. Engage your core and lift the bar by pushing through your heels.
    5. As you lift, pull the bar up towards your chin, leading with your elbows.
    6. Lower the bar back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

    Common Mistakes

    • Bending the back instead of the knees.
    • Not engaging the core during the lift.
    • Using a weight that is too heavy.

    Modifications

    • Use a lighter weight to ensure proper form.
    • Perform the movement with a kettlebell for a different grip.

    Tips

    • Keep your back straight throughout the lift to avoid injury.
    • Ensure a strong grip on the barbell.
    • Engage your core for stability.
