I have a choice because I'm slavic. Can go super narrow or wide depending on what I'm hitting. Sam Sulek is a good example of someone with the same kind of hips squatting extremely heavy narrow stance.
Narrow because you can get a better weighted stretch on the adductors on other movements, so might as well focus on the quads instead
Also my adductors are always sore from working on middle splits/pancake so I'd rather not throw more work onto them
been lifting 2 years and I cannot do anything but shallow squats, all other lifts outpace this if I do it properly I.e without wide squats, squat shoes, standing on a plate and hinging with my lower back.
have tried quad hamstring glute ankle and hip flexor flexibility but just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong or am weak on
>leg press, hamstring curls, and calf raises.
All useless unless you want to be a literal homosexual beauty pageant contestant. >Verification not required
Deadlift and clean is the best lift for improving punching power and shrugs with a lil forearm curl and curls with wrist curling is the best for being able to handle that power.
Bro I've been hitting the bottom of the bag for hand hardness and I could fricking pulverize someone's face.
That'll help your knee a shitload. Go do some downhill mtb so you have fun doing it and do high volume low weight for a few months and you won't have any pain since your tendons will be way ahead of your lifts.
Or you can just do cleans and front squats and minimal back squats till your knees catch up.
Squatting more.
I fixed my knees literally by squatting heavy. My problem was my patella was scratching pretty much my bone. At first i got a bit of tendon inflamation but after some months of heavy squats twice a week my joints became healthy again.
Wide is for hamstrings and glutes narrow is for core and quads. People who do wide only look weird as frick your ass is way too big and you squat as much as you bench and ohp your program is so fricked up.
Wide for powerlifting, narrow for quad hypertrophy /thread
Unapologetically this. But unfortunately the typical IST user cannot comprehend nuance.
Narrow for both it's not hard to go into a powerlifting meet and switch to wide and push more weight . moron
moron, just do highbar
literally as wide as you can get while reaching legal depth
>literally as wide as you can get while reaching legal depth
Whichever that your hip joints allow.
Based.
The true answer
somehow people in this thread are acting like you have a choice

Only real answer
Wide since you get the best muscle activation all around. Hips, quads, hammies, calves.

For most new lifters it's ankle mobility.
best advice is to ignore everyone and just squat is the position you find most comfortable
if you stack weights close to your one rep max, you need to go wide for stability.
hip width for me, left looks gay as frick and right is just too unstable
whatever is comfortable for you
Neither, squatting is fricking pointless unless you want to compete in power-sharting, just do leg press, hamstring curls, and calf raises.

How do I fix this?
Hiking up steep ass hills in the woods in heavy boots, you won't last 20 seconds. That and running especially up hills.
Will that help my knee or are you just suggesting an alternative?

I don't squat. I just do leg press. Congrats on your ass gains or whatever. gay.
wide. feels nice

wide turns my hips and femus into dust
I never do the wide one because what if some guy tries to rape me or if someone puts a dildo underneath me?
How the frick do I not absolutely explode my fricking knees doing heavy squats?
>Wide
for low bar

for high bar

im not listening to anyone who uses those shitty walmart belts
Wide for the ass cheeks. Narrow for everything else.
It doesn't matter, a squat works all parts of the leg as long as you reach a deep range of motion.
