I agree with wanting to know your thoughts on fixing this. Doing front and SSB squats are great, but specificity for say, a powerlifter, is lacking. Thanks in advance if you answer this Sir.
This is perfect, I get that exact elbow and shoulder pain, and I've always noticed I can never get my elbows in line with my body as they always stick out.
Eric any tips on improving thoracic mobility? I have a similar issue squatting low bar with elbows flaring back, elbow and wrist pain has been the result
Foam rolling and contouring will help, along with doing prone cobras. Another good way to develop TM is overheard squatting with a band and eventually progressing to a weighted bar or barbell.
I foam roll my lower body religiously but never felt the need to do upper body. Will start incorporating this. So you think improved TM would help develop the arch in the bench also? I have anterior pelvic tilt along with very tight hip flexors which are a problem.

one great stretch you can implement is the Thoracic Bridging. Look it up if you don't know. its awesome
what about thoracic rotation?
Then just do high bar squats. Done.
