A three-dimensional biomechanical analysis of sumo and conventional style deadlifts

Article Abstract:

Variations in technique between sumo and traditional powerlifting cause differences in biomechanical parameters, according to a study of 24 powerlifters. Coaches should use this information to recommend which technique powerlifters should use.

A three-dimensional biomechanical analysis of the squat during varying stance widths

Article Abstract:

This study uses two- and three-dimensional analyses to investigate biomechanical and kinematic differences in squatting among competitive weight lifters with varying stance widths. Findings indicate that there were significant differences in both joint angles and muscle moments across stance widths.

Effects of technique variations on knee biomechanics during the squat and leg press

Article Abstract:

Research presented quantifies the muscle activity and forces acting on the knee while a subject performs various leg and squat press exercises. Topics addressed include powerlifting, kinetics, and anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation.

trying to find ways to alter my technique to improve my squat for competitive powerlifting. I have long legs and short torso. End up with excessive forward tilt. Squat lbg is far below deadlift (-200lb).
