Also moved out my stance a bit and made a huge difference

Yeah but yours are like 25 lb prs. It’s crazy. Yeah I am still trying to get a wider stance to work. My hips dont like it.

I never truely maxed out till now and the 25lb pr is because i only went to 455 with lbs still left off.

Also i am usually a narrow squater till now amd I can feel the difference.

Do you use squat shoes?

I finally got a pair last year and used them twice before I quit squatting due to hip pain. I’m finally back at it and I’ve found that a narrow stance feels better. I think it’s because the emphasis has been shifted to my quads. I feel weaker with a wider stance. I think it’s due to the slight elevation of the heel.

So i have the Adidas power 2.0 with a .6 heel. Being flat foot I tend to lean forwards, so it helps me to force back. Had them for 4 years now and love the squat shoes. I use them for everything so it keeps me back.
