Lisa~ has had me on a recovery and strengthening program and I just recently began doing sumo DL's -- I LOVE them! I'm able to keep my back straight and really focus on the lift. I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

LJ's doing great with sumo deads, but I want to add that he's also doing a whole lot of hip mobility work (and that came first) as well as single-leg work in every lifting session. Deads are once a week, mobility is 4-5 times a week, and single-leg work is 3 times a week. So we didn't just go back to sumo deads without the other stuff that Kuri mentioned. Do that stuff first and then build up to the sumo deads if and when you are ready.
