I need to squat with a really wide stance. Is there anything wrong with this?

I need to squat with a really wide stance. Is there anything wrong with this?I've always struggled to squat with my feet at shoulder width. I am unable to get parallel, my knees shake everywhere, and I feel really unstable generally speaking. However, widening my stance (maybe 10 inches wider than my shoulders) seems to correct all these issues. I can get really good depth, I feel stable and my 1RM has gotten up to 265, when it used to be stuck around 155. Besides me looking like a sumo wrestler, is there anything wrong with squatting like this? Is there anything specific that would indicate why I can't squat with a normal stance? I do have quite a few flexibility issues, but I'm not sure what I should work on. submitted by /u/Peckerdick [link] [comments]
