wtf kind of grip is that?

He's using straps, which means he doesn't really have to grip the bar, so its as low down in his hands as possible, which takes almost an inch off the distance he has to move the bar.

>tall stature
>short limbs
neither of these are outright benefits. they can be both benefits and weakness depending on events and your proportions. someone with long arms will be a good deadlifter, but a shit bencher for instance

You don't need to have long limbs to be a good deadlifter. That's a meme. Eddie has short limbs and he has the world record on deadlift currently. He has to go all the way down when he deadlifts and he still manages to lift 500kg.

>>wide hips
This is true. Narrow hips are shit and follow the same retard reasoning people with tiny wrists spout.
>muh forearms will look bigger by contrast

You dont need tiny hips when your clavicles are wide enough. V shape is V shape, the absence of bone mass is always bad, no matter how you spin it.
