Conventional/Sumo standard deadlifts
Stiff Legged Deadlifts
Dimel Deadlifts
Romanian Deadlifts

You can vary deadlifts based on stance, grip, hip position, lower back position, whether your legs move or not, etc....check powerlifting thread for a big list of deadlift variations...

I keep my heels about 12 inches apart....however if you go sumo...then you would use a stance as wide as possible and pull with arms inside your hips...

For any one of those variations, accomidating resistance (bands or chains) can be added, they can be done from off a platform to increase ROM, or from a rack to train the lockout.

Yes I realize my shins are bleeding. And its called a deadlift. Any other questions???

If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.
