    My second run at LP. Feel like I've got a bit more in the tank but would like to get solid feedback.

    I have shoulder issues and have recently had a lot of pain. Had to skip my last squat session. I re-re-re-watched the platform on bar placement and stretched for a week. I still can't get my hands over the bar, but can just get my hypthenar eminences against the bar with very little bend-back in the wrist. Wore some wrist wraps tonight and that seemed to help.

    So I'm looking for general critique, issues with set-up/bar placement, depth (need another inch?), or any other issue. Thank you.

    You need to go deeper, as you suggested. Fight the tendency to let your knees slide forward. It is likely that driving your knees out more will solve both of these issues. The bar is in the right place on your back. If your rack allowed you to your hands out closer to the collars, you would probably be more comfortable. Do your best with it.
