    Default squat form check. experiencing elbow pain.

    3rd set. 215 lbs.

    I have been experiencing some left elbow pain when squatting, which I believe is being caused by my upper back rounding at the bottom of the squat, causing my elbows to flare up to try to keep the bar from rolling back. I'm trying to focus on keeping my elbows down and tucked in tighter to my torso, which seems to be helping.

    These look pretty good to me.

    It's hard to see as the rack blocks the viewpoint, but you may have a bent left wrist in this set.
    If so this can promote shoving on the bar.
    If so try to straighten your wrist like the right hand side and integrate that with the other good changes you made that are helping.
