 Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts | Yes I had problems with that years ago, it seemed to come back when benching very heavy too. The root cause was very tight muscles in upper back /shoulder area( teres minor/major)there's a nerve which runs through this area which was possibly impinged causing the numbness in the arms. It's not to say that's whats up with you but it may be worth seeing a good physio to see if they can help. I had deep tissue massage in that area then worked on rotator cuff exercises and stretching it disappeared after a month or so. Hope that helped. | ||

Now I squat like that and I dont have an issue. http://www.fireservicewarrior.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/S... | ||

Just looked at that picture and think you might be ok with very light weights but something serious and its a very bad accident waiting to happen. Personaly id sugest twisting or trying to rotate the bar forwards keeping the sholderblades tucked in and elbows pointing down so the weight load is taken on the back not through the arms, it takes abit of practice but it works when squatting low bar. If your doing alot of repping you need to perfect this otherwise your arms act like a shock absorber as the bar flexes and thats the reason for the tendin pain. | ||

I feel very comfortable with this grip. TBH my grip is slightly different than the photo I uploaded. my wrists are in line with my elbows and they point downwards as per http://squatrx.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/elbow-positioning-when-s... | ||
