    Grip spacing for low-bar squats

    Was curious if there was a rule of thumb regarding grip spacing when doing low-bar squats? I think I have lots of shoulder flexibility and have to keep my grip at just past my shoulders to perform them correctly. If I space my grip to wide, the torque wreaks havoc on my elbows :/

    Thanks for your comments/suggestions in advance!

    the closer ur grip the tighter ur shoulder and arms muscles thus stability.

    As close as you can while not creating pain is usually ideal.
