What is the width of the squat stance? A little tip for those with longer limbs!

When it comes to squatting, it is important to remember that the width of the stance depends on the length of our limbs and other genetic factors. So let's take a little tip for taller exercisers like me when performing the squat.

With each exercise we need to consider that we are all different, have different injury histories, mobility issues or shortened muscles (which need to be corrected), or different goals. The basics of technique for each exercise remain the same, but may differ in certain ways and this may not be a mistake. Strict technique is not always a necessity when it comes to building muscle mass.

A wider stance for the squat is generally better for people with longer limbs, allowing you to go down, be stronger, more stable and thus build thigh mass better. You have to think of your body as a pyramid, the higher the top, the wider the base has to be !
