I'm gonna tell you how to do the sumo squat, sumo squat is just the same as a regular squat, except my legs are going to be a lot wider. Some of you ladies might have heard this call to the Plier squad. It's the same exact thing. We're going to come up. I'm going to walk up to my bar place a little bit lower than shoulder level so I'll be able to unrack.
It's going to come right back here around on my back split stance, always to unrack. My core is tight. I'm keeping this bar stabilized. The stance for the sumo squat is wide.
Nice wide stance. My feet are further apart than shoulder width and my toes are pointed out. My chest is going to stay high, my abs are going to be tight, and what I'm going to do, just like a squat, I'm sitting back in the chair. I'm coming down to my upper legs or parallel to the floor. And I'm driving back up through my heels. I inhale on the way down.
And I exhale on the way up. This is great exercise. It's catching a little bit more of that inner thigh than a normal squat does down. And back up, squeezing your glutes at the top. Rep range anywhere from 8 to 12 is great. Ladies, if you want to make this a little bit harder.
We can hold it in the squat position and fire up those inner thighs, if you want to switch it up a little bit when we're finished, walk those feet back in the center.
We're going to walk back forward. We're going to rack it up. That's the sumo squat. Remember, beat our whole lot wider than your regular squat. Toes are pointed out, chest up, head up, sitting back in that chair, up and down. That's the sumo squat.
