Squat (Wide Stance)

I'm finding that there's less forward lean compared to a shoulder width stance low bar back squat, so it feels like there's less stress on my lower back. I also find that it's difficult to squat deep with a wider stance.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
