Can be tough on the hips is the first thought that comes to mind.

Take a look at this young man.

I agree it's dumb.

Wimmens like to do it.

Ed Coan did it.  Perhaps the greatest powerlifter of all time.

Colton is strong at conventional - he's just the real deal.

But there are a lot of nobs on instagram using super bendy bars so the lameness of the lift is accentuated and it becomes a 3 inch lift.

I've been doing it as a variation for a little while, I think it has value.  I have no interest in going to the extremes I go to for conventional though (I frequently walk around with burst blood vessels in my face for about 3-5 days out of 7).
