This type of squat impresses me a whole lot more then a PL sqaut, with that typical wide stance, feet 3 feet apart, a belt that could strangle an elephant and knee wraps so thight that these guys walk like ducks before they made it to the bar. This guy didnt use any of the above.

I can squat more with a narrow stance than a wide stance if I'm not using any gear at all, including a belt.
I believe you, but thats weird... Most Plers use a wide stance and there is more action in the hip then in the knee joint. At least it apears to be that way...

It due to the way I've been training. Hell, I did nothing but front squat for 2 months last year.

You'll find IPF lifters generally squat narrower than most other feds due to having to squat deeper to get a squat passed. The narrower the stance, the easier it is to hit depth. Plus, we have to walk out our squats so it makes it much harder to get really wide when setting up.
