[QUOTE=gewaltiger;416244081]anybody know why he is squating with his hands against the plates anyways?[/QUOTE]
theory 1 = maybe its light weight and a warmup set so he kinda just put his hands out there to keep the bar from rolling off his traps
theory 2 = hes a bamf with super balance and doesn't need his hands on the bar to keep it from rolling of his back
i really have no idea tho
-
maybe he does it to train his core to balance heavy weights for snatches since your grip is way out also
hmmmm
