what's an autism lift

like terrorism or something?

Agreed. It makes no sense to do a sumo deadlift when the entire point of deadlifting is to build muscle on posterior chain. Sumo takes out a lot of posterior chain and hits quadriceps more. Why would you want more quadriceps work when you're already doing squats/leg press?

The only intelligent option is to do conventional deadlifts, as it's going to give you the most bang for your buck when it comes to building muscle on your posterior chain.


I'm even saying this as a manlet with short arms, which means conventional deadlift is harder for me compared to someone with long arms, but I don't be a bitch and change to sumo, I stick to conventional and suck it up and my posterior chain loves me for it. I even do deficit conventional deadlifts to make it even harder for me and build a stronger lower back.

It is purely for women so they can feel like they are strong and do a man's lift when they have completely bastardised the dead lift.

>when you're already doing squats/leg press
Because I'm not doing either one of those. All I have to do is sumo deadlifts, and my leg compound lift is out of the way, and I can move on to isolating my ass with weighted glute bridge (I use your mom as my weight).

It makes sense if you compete in powerlifting since you get higher numbers everyone else should do conventional with exception of guys with short arms that doesn't let them deadlift with a straight back.
