Seminar Staff Flowmaster Chuck Carswell demonstrates the sumo deadlift high pull. Progressing from the conventional deadlift, he moves into the sumo deadlift high pull setup position, with the hands in, feet wide, hips tall, and knees out. 

The skill acquired through training the sumo deadlift high pull — that of transferring power from the hips and legs, through the upper body, and into the object being lifted with maximal efficiency — is essential both in sport and life.
