Anyone have some info on the bent elbows vs. straight elbows? Pros, cons or do both?

Try to keep the arms as straight as possible. This would be harder but it will engage the muscles of the back more than the muscles of the arms. A small amount of elbow flexion will most probably happen regardless.

Yes, minimize elbow bending. "when the elbows bend, the strength ends"
