Wide stance while squatting?

[SebastianMorar]

Is it okay to use a pretty wide stance while squatting? I can't seem to go below parallel (or even parallel) if I squat like most of you do..

do these every day and yes it is ok to go wider but you should still do these:

use a stance you feel comforable at, try doing certain stretches to help with flexability if thats the problem

I go a little bit more than shoulder width, feels good for me

This. I go wide to get parallel. Can't hit parallel with a narrow stance. For me its my calves that need to be more flexible. I would say go wide if its comfortable and work on flexibility if you want to bring it to a narrow stance

Use which ever makes you comfortable, as long as you hit them

I use slightly wider than shoulder width, otherwise my heels come off the ground.
