Overview
The sumo deadlift with chains is a of the traditional deadlift that targets the hamstrings more effectively. To perform the sumo deadlift with chains, youll need a barbell, two sets of chains, and two weight plates. Start by setting up the barbell in a power rack so that the bar is just below your knees. Then, attach one set of chains to each end of the barbell. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes turned out slightly. Bend over and grab the bar with an overhand grip, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Hinge at your hips and knees, keeping your back flat, and lower the bar until it touches your shins. Then, push through your heels and return to the starting position. As you lift the bar, allow the chains to swing freely. This will help to increase the resistance at the top of the movement, which will target your hamstrings more effectively.
