First they're over in the India'ish area of the world allot they do makes no sense, however that made less than "no" sense... WTF where they going to do get killed by that shit LOL... That was really bizarre.

Maybe they can't..... Screw it. There is no good reason for that.

Dumbest shit I've seen today. You are supposed to be taught how to dump a bar properly first before you even start lifting. You spot for the front & back squat but not while performing the actual lifts.

Well thats one way to get your foot smashed to all hell.

Ignorance or stupidity would be the "why".

After seeing a few olympians pop elbows and eat the bar I could understand this..... but it looks as practical as a poopie flavored lollypop
