You don't look like a very thick guy, that is excellent weight for you and excellent depth. I would recommend you open you lets up a few inches to allow you hips to more easy pass though your hips. It will keep your back more upright. The way I teach people the proper stance is to give them a book and squat down in a comfortable position and read it. That is how to find the right placement for your legs. Being comfortable up top means nothing, the bottom is where it counts. Good Lift!

@tsafa1 thanks for the advice! I'm not too thick, but I want to get thicker so I can speed up my gains a bit. I'm pretty comfortable with my stance width at this point. As I got stronger and stronger, I got more and more comfortable with a narrow stance. I also like it because it's more of an athletic stance, and my primary goal is to increase my vertical leap (currently 32" standing, 38" running). One day i'll be able to rep 405 like you though!

@drionsh I agree you could definitely benefit from a slightly wider stance and pushing knees out more. Well, not really "pushing" them out. Really flexing your hip external rotators before you start going down. Not so hard that your feet actually angle out more, just enough to feel your feet grip the ground like you are spreading it apart, see what I'm saying?

[eowdaoc]

@drionsh Oops sorry didn't see the athletic stance thing..

[inmymind801]

very nice, i think itd be a good idea to make a video giving a tutoral on squat tips and form breakdown so more athletes can learn to squat proper.

[drionshk]

@inmymind801 hey thanks for the compliment! There isn't much to learn from "how to squat properly for athletes" other than flexibility/mobility (less pull on the lower back), ab strength (strong mid-section stabalizes the weight thereby preventing the lowerback from compensating and taking part in the bulk of the stabalization and therefore rounding), and simply practicing the movement (get the flat back ingrained in your brain!).
