He didn’t respect the weight. “Light weight”

Yeah ok.

When that weight was on his throat, he was absolutely at the mercy of the spotters.

It´s the fast "Bouncing" that caused it not just the grip, guilty of using it myself but maybe a habit i have on rows & Chins using my hands as "hooks" carrying over to other lifts. :-\
I use an over thumbless grip on reverse curls too.. incidently just using my new Captain of Crush Gripper :D
