Another squat grip question!
Hello, having the classic elbow pain after squats. Anterior. Currently doing the chin up protocol which fixed it before.
Obviously I need to fix my grip. On every question or forum post I see that most people who went to the seminar had Rip move their hands in about 6 inches to fix their grip. If I get my hands in closer my index finger loses contact with the bar as soon as I unrack it. I saw in one of Rips videos that the correct grip has the first pad of the index finger in contact with the bar. Both the wide grip with all four fingers on the bar and the narrower grip where the index finger comes off seem to cause the pain.
Do I just need to stretch out more before i squat and on my days off? I’ve started doing the low bar stretch while I’m doing my chins.
I have very long arms (height 5’10 with a 6’3 arm span) and disproportionately long forearms relative to my upper arms. I also recently had scaphoid surgery which means my right wrist is much less mobile.
