Squat width

[B0ARDIN087]

Well. I have always squatted about shoulder width and I go a good bit past parallel. I deadlift conventional but recently I squatted a little wider. While i didn feel as sturdy I went ass to floor much easier then shoulder width. It also felt a little more stable ? I just wanted to know which muscles will be neglected a little if i go wider. I know hit hits my glutes more becuz i really feel it. any thoughts on what stance i should use

Go with whatever lets you get ATF most comfortably. As long as your stance isn't ultra-wide and you're getting good depth you really don't have to worry about neglected leg muscles.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant when you said the slightly wider stance felt less sturdy but more stable. Could you clarify the distinction you're trying to make?
