I am a nascent novice to barbells.
I look to others for guidance on barbell training. (especially Knock Em Dead by @Fabio Zonin )
I don't currently have much more than deadlifts on the horizon. I have from time to time fretted over the differences between training Sumo vs Conventional.
I am glad to have encountered some food for thought, in a rather equanimous package.
TL;DR. Edit: for a given lifter, one stance or another might feel easier and or prove to be a stronger lift . It depends a lot on your hips, and which parts of your chain are weaker than others at certain positions.

Why Do Sumo Deadlifts Seem Easier Than Conventional Deadlifts?
Since sumo deadlifts disproportionately reward people who already have great leverages for deadlifting, it shouldn’t be too surprising that a disproportionate amount of the best deadlifters are sumo deadlifters.
