    Hello, another technique video. Please let me know if I am making technique errors. I noticed from the overhead view that there is some elbow flaring. I'm not sure if it is a problem. Here are sets 2 & 3 from different angles. 225 3 sets of 5. Thank you.

    You're flaring your elbows a little. Think about keeping the elbows inferior to the bar the entire time. They won't be, but it will help to prevent flaring.

    Get your chest up more and press the ground with your feet. Your hands should be internally rotated a little more.
