Tough to do with shoulder and elbow being made to hurt getting under the bar. Getting worse.

That is not good, what will you do about it, any plan?

I shall take some photos to show two types I use, one I bought and one type I manufactured myself. I come back later.
Thanks. I will have to try them next squat workout.
The first gadget I used was a Top Squat from Dave Draper
Search by google and you see. Using that I noticed that I had a tendency to round my back by moving my shoulders forward.
Then I met with SS coach Carl Raghavan and he had me use simple straps around the bar and then just hold them in my hands. It worked but felt a little insecure.
So I Made the slings from a couple of ropes and two pieces of hard plastic
Tubes as handles. They work better, its easier to keep shoulders back and push against the bar.
Did you see the picture of the rope with handles?

Pain free after this. I will keep adding unless I start hurting again. Hopefully the elbow sleeves will help. I missed the fact that my new elbow sleeves were sitting in the mail box way before I had my very late workout today. They are a workout just to get them on but I think the fit is correct as you do not want them loose. I will try on my next bench workout.
