Thx mane and haha 180 10% is a longggg lifetime goal. Attainable but sauce may be needed when I'm Loco's age.
There is a difference between someone who doesn't feel comfortable with toes pointing forward and my condition I am trying to describe to you. When I start with toes forward my left toes remains the same and my right toes twist out to such a degree I have to re-adjust myself while squatting. It's just a terrible feeling. Something is up.

why not?
i have the ~same-ish (I think) issue FWIW.
Ie I literally can't squat to depth with toes pointing forward or slightly out (femurs too long relative to tibias, I believe), and my toes (and knees) start to twist out in an attempt to let me gain depth / keep back more vertical.
So what I do is make the effective femur length shorter by pre-emptively pointing toes out a whole bunch more than most people do.
For me, toes pointed out @ 45-60 degrees is where squatting feels the best (shoulder width stance or even more narrow) and allows me to go ATG.

Non-fitness related:
Just got back from that pokerstars event, got to meet some of the pros. Had a good time. Tournament then open bar on the house. I gotta say, Liv is really down to earth and enjoyed her company. Barry didn't have much to say, was hard to connect with him. Assuming he wanted to get the **** outta there since he busted out of the tournament super early. Liv made me laugh when we were about to take a pic, she goes wait, over here over here its better lighting. I laughed and said yeah its all about that anabolic lighting. Pretty sure she had no clue what I said, but went with it.

Thanks buddy. Really need to focus on trying to gain some size. Otherwise I'll fall into the gain 10-15 lbs cut stage where I look the same imo.
