Prior to the rotator cuff issue Im having, I had been working on setting up/squeezing the upper back tight w/ elbows down because it relieved to tension pain of in the elbows, which seems (if the various threads here are an indication) a very common problem related to squat. Mr. Deaton and Mr. Reynolds mentioned it on the most recent "Barbell Logic" podcast.
I wonder if, in my attempt to deal with the elbow problem, I was over-tightening the shoulders and caused the rotator cuff strain.
