Flat Footed deadlift
Rip, I've seen on previous posts you recommend holding the supinated position during a squat rep for people with severely flat feet. Would you suggest doing the same thing for a deadlift rep?
Thanks,
Corey

Conscious supination of the feet and supporting the arch with a weightlifting shoe are completely different things.

i have feet as flat as it gets, have done 450 for reps with no problems using regular weightlifting shoes.

This thread and the thread linked here are very helpful. I've been fighting knee pain for quite awhile in my right knee. More so when I find myself at higher weights where my form breaks down. I am fairly duck footed with typically more pressure in my arch then the outside of my foot.
For awhile I thought my issue was not supinating enough during squats. Recently I was reading about knee pain and stumbled onto this article:

I've been following that with some success, however I'm about to max out the adductor machine so I'm starting to think maybe weak adductors are not my issue so much. I've been considering posting a question here about what to do next for my adductors and knee pain. Maybe front squats? Though now it sounds like:
1. Fix form issue, knees out, ensure supination of feet.
2. Continue with Adductor Machine
3. Orthodics: http://www.superfeet.com/en-us/insol...delux-mens-3-4 I think this was the hard one for dress shoes described in the previous link, link was broken.
4. Seated Calf machine
Is that a correct assessment?

My opinion on "corrective exercises" has been beaten to death. SEARCH FUNCTION.

In the previous post aren't you suggesting both to somebody with pronation? Both using a weightlifting shoe with an orthotic and consciously maintaining the supinated position during the squat?

I seem to be.

Is this suggested during a deadlift as well?
