I am actually used to doing that exact thing (did you get it from the new 5/3/1 book?) but my shoulders are feeling very uncomfortable in that position. They aren't used to gripping the bar like that (it's been 5 months since I've done a back squat) and they feel strange. I'm gonna do it slowly and see if it makes a difference.
This part is what is irritating me the most:

Keep your elbows down and try to force them under the bar. This will cause your hips to drive out first out of the bottome of the squat. It'll also keep your chest high and prevent you from squatting with your legs first instead of your back.

I am able to keep this form till I am mid-point on the way up. Right at that point my shoulders feel weird, the weight shifts and I "good morning" it back up. I don't like that. I am used to doing my squats in a "smooth" manner. Right now I look like a spazz...
Thanks for the help, though, Talo. Much appreciated. But perhaps I need to do more shoulder stuff which is a touchy subject because of my past injuries and doing shoulder "mobility" work directly causes my injuries to occur again. So I have to play this smart. Hopefully doing some overhead squats for 2 weeks and then coming back to back squats will help.
