Hmm? You mean the one where Rip has gone clearly insane from sniffing his own farts too much?

Squatted last night. Brought my stance in a little and thought about putting knees forward at the beginning of the descent instead of out. I think they improved quite a bit, and I didn't get my usual back/deep hip ache. Knees seem quieter and less slidey and don't cave at the bottom like they did. Slowed descent slightly. Brought grip width in a little bit, but that's about as narrow as I can go for now.

Messed up the camera angle a little, but here they are.

Do you have access to good in-person coaching resources for looking the grip width thing (for example, do you feel pain in the elbow or the shoulder when you try to narrow it further)? Squats improved a lot, some remaining knee caving but a lot less than in the last video. Music is appropriate too.

Don't know of any competent coaches in my area. When I try to narrow it further, I can't get my shoulders to the bar. I just don't move that way. And trying hurts shoulders and elbows.

From looking at the video (elbow and shoulder angles): you have long forearms, but barring any shoulder/elbow problem, you could get your grip progressively narrower if you work on it with small decrements every workout.
