Another technique tip: I’ve just been reading Iron Edge Gym’s blog and Matt points out that in the sumo deadlift it is common for the hips to rise too fast, turning the exercise into more of a stiff-legged deadlift. But if you think ‘chest up and out’ it helps to prevent the hips from rising first.

See http://theironedge.blogspot.com/2009/06/coaching-cues-chest-upout.html for more.

@ lelak: for me personally, yes indeed! I was having trouble with conventional deadlifts but when I switched to sumo my deadlift instantly shot up by 30kg and has gone on from there. So the stance obviously suits me! I now use sumo in competition, although I still train conventional in the gym.
