About four inches wider than my high bar. My low bar is also a done with almost no extra heel rise. It's like the differences between my conventional dead (bit of a heel, close stance) and sumo (no heel, very wide stance).
So here are my observations and plans after going to squat that extra day yesterday...
1) I really should only do one heavy squat session per week with MAYBE one light squat day every other week. This frequency keeps my knees happy. They can heal completely between heavy squat sessions only if I give them 5-7 days.
Also it takes a full 5-7 days of rest for my muscles to heal and my lifting ability to super-compensate. I can add ten pounds to a given rep scheme about seven days later. That is to say, linear programming still works fine as long as I get the frequency right and give myself enough time between sessions.
There are still a few sources floating around on the web that advise INCREASING rest days as strength increases. Concentrated loading (lots of volume and frequency followed by a back off) works as I've seen time and again with my Smolov insanity. But it's not necessarily conducive to long-term joint health.
2) Entry level/basic squat suits stretch out very quickly.
My Inzer Champion was bought a size too big to flatten the learning curve. It still stretched out to uselessness in just three sessions. It isn't giving me any pounds on my lifts which in turn means it isn't protecting my hips. My old right hip pain has resurfaced.
Remember: if the gear isn't giving you pounds, it also isn't giving you protection. You literally may as well be wearing nothing.
I had it in the back of my mind to purchase a pair of correctly-sized Inzer power pants to go under the size-too-big Inzer Champion suit bottoms. I think I may do that.
3) The meet is the fifth Saturday from now. Here are what I plan to do with my Saturdays till then:
7/19: 5x5 w/315
7/26: 4x4 w/335
8/02: 3x3 w/355 or ascending with 355x3, 360x3, 365x3
8/09: 2x2 w/375 or with 385 if 365x3 is managed in previous session
8/16: Meet day, new single max of 395...maybe up to 400 or 405
And I just realized that I have to start Smolov NEXT MoNDAY if I want to test a new max on meet day.
But if I can get 40 lbs on my squat with a fairly linear progression with attenuating volume, then I should do it so I don't cripple myself.
Linear progression has put over 100 lbs on my squat and deadlift and about 60 on my bench in two months, with most of those gains coming in the first month. I am still regrowing muscle even if the newbie-like comeback gains are clearly slowing. So another 40 lbs on the squat and deadlift in a month isn't crazy.
