A wider stance ensures more safety as far as lower belt. But a narrower stance works the best, as far as gaining goes.

a wide stance with closed grip (sumo style) can train your body the same as normal deadlifts only with a much lower risk for injury as it puts a lot less strain in your lower back

x2. And a closer grip, just outside the legs. Easier to pull,Originally Posted by SyNeRgY

For me, 6-8 inches between my feet and my hands inside the rings using a mixed grip.

Hip width stance is better,flare ur toes out if u want to stabilize more,and use ur heels for the movement,and in bent postion keep ur knees in same direction of toes.

i'm a fan of just off shoulder width. legs very close together makes it hard to take the strain off of your knees back plus gives you less of a solid base to lift from. gotta push yourself but make it as comfortable as you can to help prevent injuries
Insecurity will always rent the space it occupies, but confidence will own the f-ing building, and any other room it steps in.

I usually go shoulder width.

For me, shoulder width is good, but you need to experiment with stance to get better leverage.
