why dont pros use the handles on the hammer lat machine?

[purenaturalstrength]

instead they hold the part where the handle is attached to and it seems totally pointless

It shows that they are pro and own the machine and minds of idiots.

Different grip that works to widen your lats more

Better stretch.....not only pros do this........seen plenty of people doing it.

Pros like to pretend they are so massive they can't use the machine the correct way.

They do it as a mind fuck for the other people in the gym. We used to do things at the "Sports Connection" just to fuck with the people holding workout cards with that confused look on there face. Go up to a piece of equipment and do some stupid movement and tell our buddies watch this. Two days later 15 people would be doing the same stupid movement.

Extra stretch and by keeping your elbows out which this position forces you to do, you get a better contraction in the upper middle back, an area harder to isolate with other exercises, definatly for the longer limb pros like Wolfe etc. Not so suited to the midgets, they are usually narrow enough to engage this area with regular grip.
