Ditching my wide squat stance led to a close encounter with the gym floor

I quit squatting with a wide base... thought it would help my depth. Next thing I know, I'm leaning way too far and almost kissing the floor... not my finest moment. How do you lock in a stable stance without overthinking it?

Try focusing on your foot tension instead of just the width. Really push your feet out against the sides of your shoes like you're trying to spread the floor. That grip locks everything in from the ground up.

That slight knee roll inward means you're creating proper torque from the ground.
