Chase:
Your grip is a little wide, shouder flexibility or just feel more comfortable?
Asking because most coachs are preaching close grip?
Thanks!
Good question, Danny.
I actually have the shoulder flexibility to go quite a bit closer. I changed this last year while squatting at EliteFTS. I can’t remember the guys name (I think it was Dave, and no, not Dave Tate), but I know he squatted a lot more than me. He was coaching me on my squat and recommended a lower bar position than I was squatting with at the time. Since I began incorporating back squats back in I decided to apply what I had learned and thus the wider grip.
