Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260 570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	hey, was wondering if sumo deadlifting is sometimes not allowed in strongman comps? if so, why and how do they judge it to be one or the other? need to know as i hope to compete eventually and need to see which one i prefer. thanks in advance!

If your hands are inside your feet then it's a sumo deadlift - There is probably a more technical definition somewhere but this should see you right
