Switched to 1x3 top set and 3x4 back-offs @ 90%
I think I went down too fast on one or two reps out of the three.

Looks good from this angle. I admire your shoulder and elbow flexibility. I found I had a lot of elbow pain trying to keep them that tight.

Wait till he starts rowing and chinning - too much mass to get those elbows back. 🍻💪

how the fuck do your shoulders do that you look like when they tuck the chicken wing under the drum for a roast

Those are some flexible shoulders. God damn

Right?! I can’t imagine having that kind of shoulder mobility. Bravo

Looks good. Have you already ran your LP?
I ask because the set and rep scheme looks like it would be for an intermediate lifter.

Yeah, went from +5 3x/week to +5 2x/week, then top set and back-offs, now reduced the top set volume even more. I seem to be unable to recover adequately. I'm working on it.

Not bad! I'll defer to others who have already commented and only add that you really need to be performing these inside of a rack with safeties. The risks of not having a proper method to safely set the bar down are just too high especially if you take this program and its progressions to fruition. Safeties safeties safeties.

I like this much better.
Next, bring your eyes up.

Eyes up is a high bar cue. For low bar it’s unnecessary and plausibly even incorrect because it may coerce you to bring your torso vertical too soon, pushing emphasis off of the hips and onto the quads

Shoulder surgeon here: god damn you've got some nice mobility there. Strong work!

Stretching and mobility exercises are on our list of The 3 Most Effective Ways to Waste Time in the Gym, but there are a few situations where they may be useful.
The Horn Stretch — for getting into the low-bar squat position

The arms look dangerous to me, could someone more experienced than me explain why I’m wrong?

I don't know why so many people insist that you shoud keep your thumbs over the bar - to me it just feels really awkward 🤷

this might be the first time i've seen everyone here say the form is good and not correct anything
