I don't think that's the right approach. Back rounding is usually a setup problem.

You have the same proportions as me brah

I switched to sumo and never looked back

I actually enjoy deadlifting now !

Yeah i dont wanna make an excuse as to why i cant conventional but sumo is more comfortable form wise...i still feel like im leaving alot of back work out if i dont hit conventional tho. Maybe use conventional as accessory then? Or just do both?

Don't listen to this guy.

Don't join the dark side. Conventional=pro

there was a chart on measures of limb length/torso length etc to dertermine which stance was more appropriate

ppl with long legs/short arms have it much easier with sumo, conv makes it really hard not to round unless asian with infinite dorsiflexion

long arms
long legs
short torso

are proportions for more advantageous conventional pullers.

I have very long legs, long arms, and quite a short torso and I still pull much better sumo

Some people say sumo > regardless of your natural leverages just a superior way to pull.

I may just alternate each week or throw sumos with squats and convetional deads a separate day
