What’s stopping you from googling a video of how yates perfoms the lift? If youtube doesnt have any, try the site that employs him.

You could make that arguement for squats, bent rows…
I would say teaching/learning sumo is easier than conventional. Think hip mobility is very relevant to doing deads, if you can’t get in position without rounding the back then you need to address that.

Yeah I suppose you could really. I always assumed the DL had the most potential for crappy form (based on my experience).
Form/injuries on lifts like DL’s/Squats becomes more of an issue when really pushing the intensity (that is, reaching near failure…or gasp, failure itself)
