Doesn't necessarily make it easier, otherwise all powerlifters would pull sumo.
Puts less strain on the lower back and puts more of the weight on the inside of the legs, which is why its common to hear "think about breaking the ground apart with your legs" for sumo deadlifts.
It all depends on your levers.
The 3 Strongest raw deadlifters all pull over 430kg conventional, Andy, Benedict and Konstantin.
If Sumo was easier, wouldnt they switch?

Yes we all do what is easier for us...
And for alot of powerlifters that appears to be sumo.
If they could lift more in conventional would they not?
Please tell me why someone would do something where they lift less weight and make it harder for themselves in a competition that is measured from total weight moved?
