    Default Squat Form Check - 265 Lbs

    Squat form check request. This was a back off set after a set at 295 to work on form. I have had a pain in my shoulder the last few weeks after squatting so I benched first.

    I feel like I could narrow my stance and force my knees out more.
    Any comments are welcome. Thanks!

    Narrow your stance and get your knees out more. Shoulder width is a good place to start.

    You're rounding your upper back a bit and elevating your elbows to try to make a flat spot, which isn't what we want in the squat. See the angle between your elbows and torso change during the lift? This shouldn't happen. The Book says lift your elbows and your chest when you unrack the bar. You're just lifting your elbows.
