What are the different kinds of deadlifts and how do they differ in terms of technique and muscle engagement?

There are three main types of deadlifts: conventional, sumo, and trap bar.

Conventional deadlifts involve a hip-width stance with hands outside the legs, focusing on the lower back and hamstrings.

Sumo deadlifts have a wider stance with hands inside the legs, targeting the inner thighs and glutes more.

Trap bar deadlifts use a hexagonal bar and involve a more upright posture, engaging the quadriceps and glutes.

Each type of deadlift varies in technique and muscle engagement, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your goals and body mechanics.
