It was popularised by Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell.
Sumo stance deadlifts work ok raw, but raw Wide stance squats would probably rip your hips apart. Mainly an equipped thing

I guess it depends on where you draw the line on what you constitute a "sumo" stance.
Technically you still pull sumo, even though your toes don't touch the plates.
Even Fuzz has been moving his feet out slightly further to reduce ROM.
Keep in mind that I squat with an almost closer than shoulder width stance (that is probably even narrower than my conventional dead lol) so everything is wide to me
Plus there are other variables such as recovery time etc etc etc

Wide stance sumo feels very different to the Ed Coan sumo, which Fuzzy still does. You get hurt in other parts of your hip & legs, for starters. I've done both, and have enjoyed getting out of bed the morning after tremendously...
Your body doesn't get fucked right away as you start (raw) but the longer you do it, the more you'll get to that point where your hip kills you.
Those wide stance equipped sumo deadlifters you see mostly train conventional anyway, so they can save their hip.

It really depends on the brand.
So can't say sorry.
The black 41" from Iron Edge are about 100kg at 6' from memory, as a completely unrelated reference lol
