One hand over, one hand under solves the mystery.

Having both hands semi supinated using an EZ Bar is safer & the idea is to hit more of the Lower Lats evenly which you cannot do with a mixed grip, also one bicep is under more stress with a mixed grip which could result in a tear.
A semi supinated position also involed more Forearm flexors & Brachialis which lessen the risk of a tear.
However i believe Dorian changed later to a standard grip on his rows due to injury.
I have in the past used a mixed grip on chins but i wouldnīt do it nowadays.

If the balance is good then looks fine and you are able to avoid tripping when you step out of it.

I do my deads with it, because the offset of the bar in relationship to my spine is zero. The goal is to keep my herniated discs in check.
