Squatting technique

[Bigboi118]

When i normally do squats i have toes an knees pointing slightly outwards, positioned about shoulder width apart.

What im wondering is would that mainly work the outer thigh? Would a more parallell position with the feet and knees work the inner muscle (inside thigh by the knee) more?

When i try squats with toes and knees pointing foward the rom is alot more difficult.

this is a prime example of why you should train movements, not muscles...get stronger at the squat movement, not bigger in the inner thigh muscles

ankle dorsi flexion range of motion is the limiting factor when your feet are straight ahead...to get deeper you'll externally rotate the feet outwards

closer stance squats will get the outer thigh more but then your ankle mobility wonlt let you do it

get your legs stronger with squats then get them bigger with lunges

Ok i shall squat how i have been. I didnt kno if what i was doin was a more sumo style squat and that i should switch it, but if it is only natural that your legs end up pointing slightly outwards then im all good. I was just checkin i wasnt cheatin the lift somehow
