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.

yeah... good bit of kit. I just sit on a flat bench with a Plate on my toes & raise, tib bar will work better though.

Me neither.

Did a search on the web but didn't find them.

Did find these which cheaply convert 1" bar to 2"...
