So last week I was emphasising forward lean which led to my upper back coming out of extension and the bar rolling up my neck and elbow flaring as I squated.

After 2 sessions squatting this way my back's been sore and in pain including my lats. I've probably done 15-20 sets with and empty bar and maybe up to 135# to fix my form but my posture is going to shit.

I'm not sure if it's an issue I can fix on my own, so I've decided to return to how I was squatting before at least until I can get to and SSC or a seminar, because well "you gotta squat!"

I realize I could benefit from more shoulder flexibility as my hands are quite wide on the bar, but if I could pick between close hands and loose upper back or what I'm doing above I'll take this and progress for now.

If there's any glaring insight as to how I can fix this in my own garage I'm all ears. I've reread the squat chapter and I really do want to squat per the model, but I'm afraid I'm just bastardizing it currently


Thanks
