The last couple of workouts have been really weird, I'm just wondering if narrowing my stance will benefit me and how I can improve flexibility, and hopefully improve my technique overall.
I tried to squat like this today and I was really weak, relatively speaking, I suppose due to the fact that this new stance is different for me.
Anyone else have this issue?
