hey guys. I've always been squatting wide, as it gave me a good indicator of when I was past parallel. recently I was talking with a guy who squatted really close, and he was pushing 70 lbs more than me. I included a picture of the feet placements.
which do you guys use? which do you prefer? why?
I've always squatted wide because I just thought that was proper form. Close stance seems like it would feel awkward.
Wide, but I have a penis and that gets in the way of squatting like a girl.

>implying you wouldn't be able to stand up straight with legs together
oh and I guess you don't do deadlifts either cuz your huuuuge dick gets in the way too? sure must suck buddy.
Depends on leverages, leg length, knee and hip mobility, ankle flexibility, etc. If you have very good ankle flexibility and knee mobility, a closer stance is possible. If not, go wider. [All assuming high bar].
Dunno if anecdotal, but generally this is what I've seen/read about/experienced. Just try whatever feels comfortable to you.

He squatted more because he was stronger, not because of his placement.
At least squat wide enough to give room for your stomach to move down.
Whatever is most comfortable

well yeah I know that, I had never really seen people squat like that, atleast so much, and I was wondering if it has any benefits

No need to be upset. Some people just have bigger dicks. That's life. Get used to it.

i do left because i'm not flexible enough to have good form/can't go low enough with right

nice pink shoes fag
Rip says heels at shoulder width. I hit depth and can squat 4plates so I guess it works.

Foot angle is dependent on the length of your femurs. If you have long femurs(legs) compared to your torso, you point your feet more outwards to reduce the amount of squat mornings you do.
Feet width has to do more with ankle mobility. The more your ankles are flexible, the closer stance you can do.
So basically, if you want to squat with a close stance, increase your ankle mobility. and point your feet outwards more if you have long femurs compared to your torso. If you don't have long femurs, you can point your feet more straight, because you won't have any problems doing Squat mornings.

thanks m8, though they are just red. color doesn't pick up well in picture.
>>40577476
His shoes are red you retard, maybe change the color on whatever the fuck screen you are looking at.
>>40577263
it all depends on your anatomy. do whatever feels the most comfortable to you...
>>40577544
or maybe you should just stop wearing pink shoes fag
As long as you aren't extremely wide or narrow, it's not a big deal
Depth and good form should be your focus
