Squat Form Check
Hello from Sweden!
4 months of LP going really well but I feel that I am struggling with the squat form on heavier weights and I have also started to feel some pain in the elbows, like Golfers Elbow. I guess that I have some form issues and would really appreciate some advice here on the forum, being far away from attending a Squat Camp (but close to the book SS and forum).
So, question 1: How is my form in general?
Question 2: Is the form connected to the Golfers Elbow and if so, what to change?

Many thanks in advance!

Thank you very much Jeff!
I have earlier seen the video and read the article you are referring to, but will have to do it again and keep training and improving. I believe stiffness in my upper body hinders me quite alot and I must work on that. Any streching tips are welcome!

I think practice with the lifts will help more than most stretching will. If you do stretch, do it on the days that you don't lift.
