If deadlifting is your thing, and it should be if you lift weights, Christian Thibaudeau has some good information on the subject in “Dissecting the Deadlift“.
Thibaudeau says, “If you select the variation(s) that best suits your needs, it’s one of the fastest ways to get results when it comes to muscular development and fat loss”.

How about that! She lifted over 3x her bodyweight (103#) using the Sumo style; number 6 in the Thibaudeau article.
(Congratulations to Torri Lehman who after deadlifting for only the second time, pulled 200# and made it look easy).
