Deadlift and big feet question

He should probably get a postural assessment done by a good sports physiotherapist.

He has slight lordosis and no history of knee problems. A few ankle injuries, but went through rehabilitation already.

Its for maxes.
He is fine with any other stance.

Well if his back is not rounding fuck it. Let the guy dead lift, unless he is complaining of pain. Max lifts are not meant to be pretty or with perfect technique They are just supposed to get done. It almost sounds like you wanna correct something that isn't an issue.

The difference is between this:

and this:

Everything that requires leaning forward and distributing the weight on his heels and toes is great (front squat, heavy good mornings, presses and etc).
As soon as he leans back, we have a problem.
He does judo and boxing on his toes or outer part of his feet.
No problems with suplexing as well.
But thanx anyway, I will figure out something else.

I don't think his Front Squat is that great compared to his Back Squat. It seems about the normal ratio. His DL is obviously low if he's Back Squatting close to what he Deadlifts. Wait - is this person me? I have almost identical problems to this guy and my shoe size is fairly normal.

As I mentioned before- the maxes listed are working maxes, not PRs.
Im working on improving a judo and boxing competitor strength, not powerlifter.
And Im looking for specific adjustments to his game, which requires certain strength gain.
Other than that, he sprints fine, his explosive lifts are also fine.
He performs in exact the same way with 2700 meters altitude change and etc...
