hey,
I initially started out with a high bar squat about 4 months ago, then changed to a low bar squat just to try it out, i found that i was getting sharp pains in my shoulders with the low bar squat so i changed back to the high bar squat.
When i was doing the low bar squat i was using a wide stance, and i have been reading that you are meant to do the high bar squat with a narrow stance. Would the purpose of this be just to make it more difficult? I find that with a wider stance i have greater balance and the squat is easier. With a narrow stance i find myself falling forwards when the weight is heavy and i am fatigued.
Also, I've found that my knees have been getting sore recently especially today after squatting with a wide stance, any thoughts to why this might be occuring?
thanks in advance.
