FuBarbell

The body likes to follow the path of least resistance. Don’t believe me? Stand tall, keep your shins ram rod vertical and bend over by pushing your hips back like you are trying to touch a wall behind you. If you did this correctly, you should feel an overwhelming tightness, aka stretch, in your hamstrings. Now stay there. It gets expensive after a while doesn’t it? Imagine now if you had a barbell loaded with “insert BIG number here” and still had to maintain this position. Got the point?

There’s technique to missing weight that can be overlooked by new weightlifters entering the scene — such as missing a weight behind. Having the grip wide enough to allow a successful pass behind your body ensures that if that bar is going too far back that you can safely eject out front. Believe it or not, most new lifters are afraid or won’t miss behind the body due to the uncertainty of what or how it might happen.
