i think when it comes to formal weightlifting, a close grip, narrow'ish stand is used to build onto the snatch & c&p. It's how the PTC boys and girls train, yeah ? Posted via Mobile Device
I imitated ZGZ's grip for today's squat session (already have the same stance). The grip solved my headache issue during squat, which I used to call exertion headache. The narrow grip reduces unnecessary tension on my neck & shoulders. The sets felt easier although I was squatting heavier than on Tuesday, and no headache afterwards!
thats true. I learnt that you kept your knees pointing out at the same angle as your toes. Keeping your knees from bowing inwards is much harder when you are squatting very heavy weights.
Check out Marcin Dolega, another strong Olympic Lifter.

Last nite I was doing some seriously heavy squatting. 9 reps @ 75%. Quite often during the sets i felt the temptation (or natural pull) of my knee's together, but kept them apart as more strength & power is generated when as previously noted knee's & toes are pointed in the same direction.
A Snatch will force you into a low receiving position, especially at 175kg. lol. Dolega has the U105kg world record of 199kg for snatch. Theres a video on youtube of him doing 202.5kg in training.
I've trained with plenty of 40+ olympic lifters who squat exactly like that without any complaints about knee injury. They have been squatting like that since before they were teenagers and all of them have managed 250kg+ with nothing more than a belt.
One of them even managed 280kg @ mid 90kg's bodyweight. He's now mid forties and still trains 3+ times a week.
