Sumo squats hit different …. Literally ….
Sumo Squats AKA wide stance squats are a staple in my workouts and my clients workouts.
Sumo squats target your adductors (inner thigh muscles) and outer thighs more than traditional squats do. The stance is wider with your toes pointed outward instead of forward.
They put less stress on your low back and knees due to the wider stance position.
They can increase your hip mobility
SUMO SQUATS are a great squat variation to add to your next leg day.
If these are new to you, try adding body weight sumo squats to your leg day line up or even just to your next leg day warm up to start working on your hip mobility.
