goes on height mate generally peaking if your tall you 'll preferr a slightly wider than shoulder stance toes very slightly pointing out, if you want to squat big weights for max growth all the strength is in the glutes and adductors which make up about 1/3 of the legs mass, these two muscles along with the psoas muscles deliver max squatting power. At least squat parallel but preferabely deeper your legs will get bigger and you will be able to handle a lot more weight rapidly!

You are supposed to squat very deep, nothing like this video. Try a more narrow stance and higher bar position to hit the front of the legs more. Or supplement the squat with other variations of the squat, such as the front squat-it targets the quads much more-

you squat too deep! the way i do it is try and get on ur tip toes and just go low enuf, get like a 90° angle between ur calf and ur hamstrings. tip toes rele work out ur quads but also work ur calf abit. give it a try! keep ur legs about shoulder width distance.

I have question. I do these squats all the time but I never feel it in my legs I always feel it in my glutes and I squat pretty deep too. Are your feet supposed to be dirrectly underneath you or slightly forward and does it matter how far apart they are, if so what muscles are worked out?
