    Default Squat Technique, Legs too wide?

    Hi Rip, firstly Id like to apologise for my lack of posts before asking questions, I tend to read alot of material go away and train and felt like now is a good time to start posting.

    I would prefer to come train at your place and get your advice first hand but as I am living in the UK its ruled out

    137.5kg - 303lbs, I have recently gone down in weight to address technique and my actual working weight is probobaly closer to 165kg+.

    Ive uploaded a video* to my webspace as I cant get to youtube from work, if you see anything wrong with how Im squatting would you be able to point it out?

    My main concern that Ive noticed is my stance, I was wondering whether its too wide, I take this stance because it just feels right for me and my knees do trail over my toes but my own understanding might suck so would prefer your input over my own biased opinions.

    They look just fine to me. But does the UK prevent your purchase of shoes as effectively as they prevent your leaving?
