What are your thoughts on this?
Personally I prefer the sumo deadlift. It feels much better in every way.
I have my stance just wide enough to put my arms between my legs. I've seen people do it with a very wide stance, but I suppose that requires a greater deal of flexibility.
It's hard for me to start with a neutral spine in a conventional deadlift. I know hamstring flexibility plays a big role, but I also wonder if my geometry is just better suited for sumo.
I have no idea if I have short or long arms, torso and legs. Don't have any point of reference to conclude what my bone geometry is.
