maybe try doing some lunges. It works a different part of leg that squats dont' hit... that might help you out.

Forget training differently. Eat more!
If you want to try training techniques then try some lockouts in the squat rack with really heavy weight. I've seen some guys use partials, but I wasn't partial to them.
Racism is completely irrational.
Raising taxes never created a single job.

Wider stance-you don't have to work as much to get low enough for a legal lift.

wider stance
I agree, a wide stance (I find) gives a real feeling of power, strength and stability. If you're not improving then its time to change you're system. Coming from an olympic lifting background, I was always told never to go over 3 reps. When I was younger I found that I couldnt get past 120KG for my sets of 3's so I simply changed to 4's and 5's and was fixed in no time!
