    Notes:
    1) Last 2 weeks I've been getting this nagging left shoulder pain (mild). Today I went to the gym with some shoulder discomfort but after the workout it felt better. I concentrated on relaxing the elbows. (I've been reading "the shoulder problem" and Preventing Elbow Pain in the Squat | Nick Delgadillo a lot lately )
    2) My left wrist has a very persistent tendency to extend no matter how hard I try to keep it neutral
    3) Can't really feel "the bounce" (stretch reflex) from the bottom
    4) All constructive criticism is accepted. Thank you !

    Your bounce issue is partially due to you not getting your knees in place early enough and then keeping them still. You're unlocking your hips first and then letting your knees travel forward for your entire descent.
    Unlock hips and knees at the same time. Get your knees in place in the first half of the descent, and then don't let them move.
