Trying new squat stance, knee pain

Squat
225 lbs
5/5/5

Bench
205 lbs
5/5/1

Row
160 lbs
5/5/5

Poor preparation for training today. Got sent home from work early, then fell asleep immediately. Hadn't eaten anything prior to training.

Tried Squatting with feet parallel today. Worked well for proper knee tracking, but possibly resulted in pain in left knee. Fairly sure I could've finished my Bench if I had been more prepared for training - the only rep I managed on the final set was from a dead stop on my chest.

Standard training, blah.

Squat
225 lbs
5/5/5

Overhead Press
150 lbs
5/5/5

Chin up
0 lbs
2/2/1

Deadlift
250 lbs
3/3/3

My logs will be posted here from now on. Keeping up with multiple forums just became too annoying.

I managed to track my knees somewhat better during Squats today by slightly pointing my toes inward. I'm going to look into this before I do it with any significant amount of weight because I don't know if it implies any sort of knee issues.

Last few OHP reps were pretty rough. The final rep was basically a standing incline press. Following my horrible failure at chins, I did a few negatives.
