Squat check

[Thomas Gach]

Any advice on form is appreciated. I’ve been dealing with some medial elbow tendonitis in my left elbow. So far I don’t have any pain with my press, bench, or chins. The elbow lights up as soon as I take my squat grip though. After I do a few warm up set the pain goes away by the time I get to my work sets. I have a spinal asymmetry that causes my right elbow to flare upward a bit more than my left. I don’t have any tendonitis in the right elbow, only the left. I take a pretty narrow grip, about 1.5” outside the smooth. Any cues on what I should be doing with my elbows to help would be great.

First of all, these squats are high, for which I would normally delete this post, but you're asking about a specific issue that is unrelated. In the future, do not post above-parallel squats.

Your elbows are still raised up. Some reps are better than others, but in general, they are too high. Get them lower. Think "elbows under the bar". It may also help to think "relax the elbows."

Get your stance out a half inch and bend over more by sitting back at the bottom.
