How are these looking? Been having trouble keeping my upper back from rounding so I narrowed the grip and widened the stance for these, but now my elbows hurt so I think I have to figure something else out for the grip.

Last 3 reps were high, because your stance is too wide. Tell me you're not looking in the mirror, please.

Not looking in the mirror, looking past it

[Mark Rippetoe]

How do you look "past" the mirror when it is right in front of you?

By imagining a fixed point beyond the mirror and looking at it, so I don’t rely on the mirror to discern my body’s position

[Mark Rippetoe]

That's wonderful.

This would be a good answer if your head didn't keep moving throughout the lift.

Ok narrowed the stance a bit and now I’m looking at the bottom bar on the rack. Repeated 185.

Just do the one that makes you happiest.

Why are you still a strength coach? Just take your money and let genuinely interested parties contribute, fucking asshole.
