Gotcha, I've heard a fee different things as far as bar/hand position or elbows not getting too high.

That's actually another reason I stopped doing them... there was a goof Nippard video about the most pointless exercises and that was one of them. And while I don't take much of what they say and immediately change my routine, between multiple pros having multiple reasons for not doing them and some shoulder awkwardness, I quit doing them.
