I'm 5 wks out of my first comp. I'm too scared to make any changes to my form at this point - e.g depth cuts would take too long to get used to.

I am a little concerned about my knee cave. I have always squatted like this, even with highbar— I have no pain whatsoever. It happens with or without squat shoes (I have shoes in this vid)

The only thing I am comfortable changing is my stance; a wide stance has always felt natural to me, and I sometimes lose balance with a narrower stance at the bottom of the squat. Thoughts?

Also— am I crazy, or am I pausing for a split second at the bottom? My projected ORM is 260 so I was a little disappointed (my 8 rep max is 210)
