You will gain mass through the torso, but you'll only look blocky if your hips, lats and shoulders are the same width
If you pull sumo it is generally recommended to do Romanian deads, good mornings or close stands deads for back/erector strength (from a performance/powerlifting perspective)
OK guys, so are we saying that DLs do in fact create a thicker midsection (possibly due to back development)?
If so, which one does so most of all, or is it both?
An exercise that works the muscles, including the erectors and surrounding musculature would make them bigger would it not, just like any other exercise.
If you're doing squats, you're working your legs so chances are the quads will grow, same with working any other exercise that targets a muscle group, deadlifts would be no different.

Hi bunny. I pull conventional, that’s the way I was taught - have tried sumo a couple of times but it’s never felt right for me.
Even training conventional I still do a fair bit of acccessory work for back & hams: SLDL (heavy), weighted hyperextensions, lat pulls, t-bar rows, seated rows, chins & hammie curls. Hopefully your coach has included something along these lines for your back & hammie development?
