Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Sumo Crab Walk.
The Sumo Crab Walk is a lateral movement exercise performed in a wide sumo squat stance that targets the inner thighs, glutes, and hips. Staying low throughout the movement increases time under tension and challenges hip stability and mobility.
The Sumo Crab Walk is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
