Turn your feet out in a squat or not?

Play around with this. Get to the bottom position of an air squat with your feet turned out and feel the bottom position. There is a little movement there and it feels loose and bouncy.

Try again with your feet forward. Go an inch wider if you have to. Now feel the bottom position. Feels like a solid end point, almost like a shelf. There is more tension there, and you can generate more power coming back up.

That tension and power might come in handy if you have a barbell on your back, and you want to stand up. Hmmm?
