After seeing, literally, hundreds of people struggling (sometimes unknowingly) with squat form, I decided to create the Squat Rx instructional videos on squat form and training. This blog is meant to be a platform for those videos, and a place of discussion about strength and conditioning issues for coaches, trainers, teachers, athletes, students, and enthusiasts. Posts and articles are meant to provoke thought, inspiration, and reflection.
My athletic background is in gymnastics, Tae Kwon Do, competitive swimming, powerlifting, and kettlebells. I have coached swimming at the age-group, high school, D3, and masters levels, served as a S&C coach at the high school level, and conducted kettlebell workshops and classes for CrossFit, high school students, and personal trainers.

Good Squatting!

I can always go to parallel and below with a long stance, toes pointed out, inline with thighs. I can't get any where near parallel with a narrow stance and toes forward.
Any suggestions on improving that?
What do you mean you can't get anywhere near parallel w. a narrow stance and toes forward? Do you mean you fall back? fall forward?
