The ROM in the standard deadlift is arbitrary because the weight plates are sized arbitrarily. You could even argue that deadlifting with 25 lbs or even 10 lbs plates would be the "real deadlift" because you get full range of motion. Similarly, the movement pattern in the standard deadlift is one of several ways to get the bar off the ground. There is nothing inherently right about that movement pattern. Not that I'm surprised by Rip's comments on this though, as usual he is the most dogmatic and narrow minded person in the lifting community.

Classic Sumo cope. The ROM is already set by the rules for the squat (crease of the hip in line with the top of the knee). With Sumo you're starting from a more upright position, so the bar moves much less. That's not the case with low bar squats.

@dafunkmonster

The low bar squat does not have a shorter range of motion than the high bar squat. The reason why it is better is because it shifts the mass of the bar relative to the body, allowing more hip engagement, which means bringing more muscle mass to bear to move the bar. The sumo deadlift reduces the range of motion. It brings the lockout position closer to the floor. It reduces the difficulty at the hardest portion of the movement pattern by reducing the moment arm. If you want an analogy involving squat, it would be: Standard deadlift : sumo deadlift :: LB squat : LB squat 6 inches above parallel Squatting to 6 inches above parallel reduces the range of motion, and it reduces the difficulty at the hardest portion of the movement pattern (being at parallel) by reducing the moment arm.

And that's how ALL sports work, but each sport is supposed to have specific rules not loose ones.

It's interesting that the IPF has addressed arching in the Bench, but not the Sumo DL. I think part of the problem is, like Rip says, since they didn't address the rule omission immediately, Sumo is overwhelmingly the go-to choice for Powerlifters. At my gym, out of around 20 powerlifters, I was probably 1 of only 2 who still does conventional. That being said, I'd like to know Rip's take on one important issue (imo) relating to the deadlift. I'd consider myself fairly gifted for the conventional deadlift, I have very long arms, probably above average length legs and have deadlifted close to 600 weighing in around 180-185. I find that if any powerlifters are still doing conventional, the majority of them are either heavy weights or have longer arms like myself. What has the experience been of coaches who train lifters with shorter arms in the conventional deadlift? While it does annoy me a bit that lifters with shorter arms can often excel in the bench press and have a way to modify the deadlift to their benefit, would it be detrimental in some cases for them to lift conventional? I've found a VERY narrow conventional stance works for me (I don't have much of a gut), but would shorter-arm lifters generally prefer a wider stance in the conventional deadlift? p.s. I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here, because I don't like Sumo, but the arm-length phenomenon is something I've noticed (again, excluding lifters from heavier weight classes).

Seriously, though; a sumo DL can be manipulated to the point where it's making a mockery of the lift, just the same as a wide-grip bench press or LB squat can. If it's done within reason, it's a perfectly fine lift. And there's no universe it doesn't constitute a DL. It's literally pulling a weight from floor to waist, done by extending at the knees and hips. It's only by a matter of convention that it would ever not be considered a DL.

Sumo also pairs well with low bar squatting by using the quads more, instead of just choosing the posterior chain dominant form for both squats and deads.

If a sumo deadlift isn't a deadlift, is a low bar squat a squat? The low bar squat decreases ROM and people are putting the bar farther down their backs to make the lift easier. There are rules about bench press width, but none for back arch. Powerlifting is a mess and always has been. Peanuts West and the guys who created the sport did all sorts of "cheating" to make the lifts easier. Geared powerlifting, for example, has been around for a long time, but the raw lifters of today pretend that their methods are "pure" powerlifting.

High bar can also be done with a wider stance. There is very little difference in ROM, but you can not really bend at the waist with high bar or you will bend your spine...high bar is also MUCH easier for certain body types in that they can stand straight up and get into a squat position loaded. The lift is "easier" because the bar can be placed over mid foot without all sorts of balance and bending issues....not to take away anything or make it "easier" in the sense of removing load and certainly not in the sense of removing athletic development. The issue I have with a Sumo deadlift is it is more of a wide stance leg press sort of exercise and removes a great deal of the lower back activation (in a way it is easier for a similar reason you can do it without bending at the waist much or at all with certain body types) and overall muscle activation. If you compete...well do as you must. If you are doing a deadlift for the actual development of musculature and athletic performance....the sumo is a waste of time and effort and you would be better off IMO of not doing it at all and spend the time you are not deadlifting in doing some useful assistance exercises for your other movements. I see LOTS of people doing Sumo in the gym and its always for the same reason...they can move more weight (if the more weight meant more development and muscular involvement I would be on board...however it does not) so in those cases it is purely massaging of egos and not to be better.

i would add that regarding attempting to compare low bar squat and the sumo deadlift fails in this regard. I can make a good case for a more advanced lifter doing some high bar squats (activate the quadriceps a good deal more IME) as a great variation of stimulus compared to a low bar squat. I can make zero case for doing a Sumo deadlift along those same line.

There are now rules about arch via the elbow rule: “ The lifter must lower the bar to the chest or abdominal area whereby the underside of the elbow joint is level with (or below) the top of the shoulder joint”. Too big an arch and that becomes impossible
