I am still rehabbing my lower back, just ever so slowly inching my weights back up to respectable territory.  I'm new to sumos and am still trying to find a technique that feels natural.  I prefer SLDLs, which have been exceptionally productive for me over the years, but I can already tell sumos put less strain on my lumbar area and emphasize the adductors more--two big potential benefits for me  I hope I'll eventually be able to use more weight safely with sumos vs SLDLs, which is the main thing,  But I do feel some strain in the medial parts of my knees and am trying to find the right foot placement to eliminate that.
