Squat Depth (back squat)

[Khazima]

When you go for a wider stance would there be a need to adjust the bar placement?

I leave my compound movements for the latter portion of my routine. I try to use isolation movements to pre-exhaust the group with the idea in mind that during the compound lift my body is more likely to recruit more muscle fibers due to the higher demand in closed kinetic chain exercises.

No, not unless you're switching to low bar squats which i wouldn't worry about for the time being.

That's just a theory, the small amount of research done on it has shown that you either get the same or better recruitment by doing your compounds first and it also reduces the risk of injury since you're not fatigued and there's less room for error doing your big lifts (you're more likely to make mistakes in a fatigued state).

I'll keep that in mind. Since we are on the topic of squats should I not over complicate the learning process and just stick to front/back squats? I know its recommended to eventually try variations like sumo squats. I haven't really used the hack squat machine too much because I'm having difficulty feeling the exercise. Instead I just feel like I'm working the movement.

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions for me. It's greatly appreciated.
