Good on ya, John.

That's the primary injury that occurs with the over/under grip.
It's pretty much based on poor form, obviously. Like you stated, people trying to bend the elbows more when the load gets too tough, which often happens when people try to 1rm a weight they really can't do.
As a general rule, I stick with over/over as much as I can. But when it comes to some of the very low rep stuff, sometimes I'll do an over/under. But if I feel I can do it with an over/over, I'll use that.
