Pre-face: during the squat my left elbow tends to hurt, and my left knee has always been a 'weak' part of my body. My left knee starts to hurt in long distance walking or standing for longer periods. However, once I started using insoles, the problems faded away. I started using these with a pair of chucks in my squats as of recently, feels more solid then just going barefoot.
Took a few video's from the front/back which I usually don't. I was pretty much caught by surprise when re-viewing them. When looking from the side, everything looks fine (as far as I can tell - critique is always welcome). But once from the back/front, it doesn't take a lot of effort to find out I have some asymmetry issues. Check out the video below.

My left elbow's position is totally different than the right, this might cause the pain. Pushing it back too far, looks odd compared to my right elbow. I'm going to pay attention this. Hopefuly the pain will subside once I fix this.
However, that's not the main problem. See the difference between my right & left leg @ the bottom (clear view from the front). Any idea what is causing this? It must be technique, I have no deformaties of any kind afaik. I don't sense any shifting of weight to the left side either, you can clearly see the bar is parallel with the floor.
Some time ago I had my squat reviewed. Overall consensus was OK as far as I can remember. I reviewed that video, and it basically displays the same, but I must have missed it. It's a bit less - but that might be because my stance width was a bit more narrow. Check the video from back then:

Any idea what is causing this & what I need to do different?
