close stance squats are what i used to call oly squats. but, wearing knee wraps (even if lose) isn’t “olympic like”. plus I could probably get about an inch deeper if I really wanted it. but thats gay so who gives a fuck. My new name for them will be Euro squats because typing close stance squats is too long

close stance squatting is so much easier form wise. All you do is go down lol. its not like wide stance where you have to think “ass back, spread knees, chest up” ect ect. its a lot more natural. unfortunately i cant lift as much weight. not even close.

i started to do them without a belt and just really loose knee wras (I didn’t take them off between sets they were so lose). but then decided thats gay and its just restricting the weight I can use and playing with fire with my back. so i did them with knee wraps and belt afterwwards.
