This week I added 2 new exercises to my rotation to focus more on compound lifts, barbell rows and upright rows for delts. When I did them in the mirror (not super heavy weight but weight I could control in the 12-15 range to start) I noticed that my left elbow comes up at a different angle than my right.
I have noticed this in pictures of myself too that one elbow angles out a bit more than the other when I stand with hands by my side relaxed. Not sure if its related to 2 past injuries (torn labrum, torn pec minor) or just how Im build as nobody's posture I guess is perfectly symmetrical.
Has anyone else notices this with barbell exercises? I tried to correct it, but that's just the way my arm rises or pulls back, its not really a form issue thats just the path my arm travels when moving the barbell from point A to point B In that plane.
