Problem on the squat rack, please help with form!

basically when i squat i have trouble gripping the bar and end up with almost straight arms holding near the ends of the bar. I guess i have poor flexibility in my shoulders or possibly an underlaying injury or something like that?

Anyway has anyone had this problem and does anybody know a good way to correct it? either by a positional change or by exercises or streches to improve flexibility in the shoulders?

Thanks for taking the time to read the thread.

Well I would suggest stretch your legs and shoulders before you squat.

Ask someone who is much more experienced lifter than you to watch your form from behind.

Need video to see exactly what you're doin...
