It's the bar that messes up your elbows on low bar squats. Your options, if you wish to continue back squatting, are either using a cambered bar, buffalo bar, or safety squat bar. If you don't have access to these bars just grip a normal Olympic bar wider. The wider your grip on the bar the less stress on your shoulders.

Check your messages Trukker. I'll get you some stretching videos later on. It'll be a lot of stretching for the hip flexors, groin, legs, and lower back area. But doing them regularly should help you with squatting without pain
Give him that band stretch we did with pob. That shit skyrocketed my squatting career.
That's on the list for sure mofo!
Been a tremendous help doc. Lobbying for an inversion chair as we speak 
I'll get an updated vid. That one is so old and my form has come such a long way with low bar. Maybe next week. If you got time of course
Whenever you are ready.
I'd like to get the big 500! If I can free up my back of course. I got the leg drive. Back sucks asshole. That would be so sweet
Listen to doc. He knows his shit and is the only person I know from my home state that likes to help people.
So far everything is pointing to this being the cause of my back issues. The quadratus lumborum. Try these out also to help get your back aand strong.
One of the strongest and smartest lifters in the world right here. Pay close attention to anything he says
Nothing but. I am forged in a furnace of assholes, shaped by the very fires of motherfucker only to emerge as the biggest, foulest piece of shit that side of original native American killers.Be a fool not to listen to him
Wait you mean theirs assholes in the old 13?
Thanks for the vids Doc...going to watch these myself and hopefully help my own back/hip issues
