As some of you in this part of the forum know, I'm coming back from a mild lumbar disc herniation. I've been cleared to start lower body lifting again and I was wondering your thoughts on sumo deads for someone like me. I'm a tall (6-5), long limbed bastard and I think it could take strain off my back.

I also think my build could eventually lead to a bigger number in sumo over conventional, since I've read and seen taller guys often do them that way.

I have to start back very light, so I figure now would be the time to change technique. I'm going to do some in la mannana and see how it feels, but would appreciate any with experience or opinions on them.
