Muscles Targeted:

• Performing squats with a sumo variation targets the inner thigh more than your regular squat stance.

• Training the glutes and hamstrings from different angles is important for muscle building so performing different stances has many benefits.

Form:

• Start by taking a wide stance, the heels should be about hip width or further, and point the toes out.

• Squat down and push your knees out in path with your toes.

• At the bottom of each rep push your butt back slightly.

Rep Ranges:

• This exercise is best performed in moderate to high rep ranges and can be combined in supersets or circuits.

• For a heavier sumo variation try sumo deadlifts.
