   What are your thoughts on foot placement for a raw vs. geared squat? Is it simply too difficult to hit maximal weights (e.g. 80%+) with a super wide stance because you are lacking hip support that the gear provides? Curious how your quads performed with the more narrow stance as well? Any knee soreness?

   I think that if you have a wide stance for geared lifting you have to bring it in at least some for raw. You need to disperse the load a little more since the gear isn't there to absorb the brunt of it. Knees are fine, I still focused on keeping the weight in my hips, I could probably still go a little wider yet though
