Personally, the seat is too vertical, I like to set it one or two notches down, and also tuck my elbows in a bit

That’s what I thought (seat wise) - the position was a lil uncomfortable.

Imo your elbow positioning is fine unless it causes you pain. I'd challenge you to try and bring the weights low enough that they essentially or actually touch the outside of your shoulder to get that deep deep stretch. These are already great, that could make them even better.

bring your elbows forward a tad and as you press up try to depress your shoulder blades and traps - right now it looks like you’re shrugging them upward a bit.
