That's nuts, he didn't appear overfat either.

Why are his legs so spread apart ???? Is that normal, it doesn't seem like he needs to lift it very far.

Sumo deadlift, have to have strong hips for that. I am weaker that way because of the hip issue forementioned, squatters do the same thing, ultra wide. Olympic squatters stay narrow. Powerlifters use tricks to reduce range of motion, thats one of them.

His brother is impressive shape as well.

I know what sumo squats are, I just thought power lifters didn't do their squats that way.

Deads you mean? Sumo deads are popular in PL from what I can see, reduced ROM again, if you have the hips for it. Doesn't work for everyone tho, Bolton just does a regular old dead etc
