More wider stance for lifts

[Dchadassah]

add a question about using a Sumo stance versus using a closer feet width stance. after I widen my stance up for my squats I tended to get more weight on the bar. does this same thing apply for deadlifting and why does that happen. I would think a tighter stance would make you stronger not the opposite

tighter stance will not engage as many muscles

I have always enjoyed sumo it seems like my legs get more out of it

I do both wide and tight stance for deadlifts and squats, try to alternate them for best results

too tight and too wide will make it harder.

Mix stances to engage more muscles

Sumo is a good one to throw in!

balance is important .. too much of tighter stance will not engage many muscles..Sumo can be good ..
