Squating with a plank under your heals...

[TooBigForYou]

My gym does not allow cameras. (And don't want to show my face on internet)

Anyway though I have one thing to say.

I today did squats and have discovered something interesting.
For the past couple of months I have been experimenting with different things,
Using the plank, not using it
Wide stance, Narrow Stance
Wide Grip, Narrow Grip
Foot pointing out, food pointing straight
etc...

So today I tried using a bit wider than shoulder stance with foot pointing out and no plank under my heels.
It felt pretty good, even when I went heavy.
I could keep my knees outwards. Sometimes it would just sneek in a bit but if i did it slow and controlled i corrected it. I could also keep my back straight up instead of leaning forward too much.

So i don't know. I think i am going to keep using this technique for now and see how it goes. Maybe because my other muscles (core,hamstring,etc) just needed to strengthen up alittle?
I will see how i go and if anymore problems will post up.
Thanks for all your replies.
