S0 at 1:43 in this video he says "... with the toes turned out..".
I've been playing around with foot stance, and found that a slight V shape improves .... something in the lift itself. But at the same time I feel that something iffy happens in my knees when my thighs are not parallel. Seems I am looking for a goldilocks position of sorts. Can someone help me dial in this in?
