I like them, I think it’s helped with locking out for the deadlift. Plus they’re a nice way to move a lot of weight.

What do you mean about it not feeling right though?

It was probably because I just tried them once, it seemed like a strain on my back and shoulders. I guess it depends on how high you have the bar positioned in the rack.

Did you have it were the bar was already above your knees? I may give it another shot.

I have it set up where the bar is about in an inch above my knees. Seems to work pretty well for me, I can try and give you more details if you’re interested in trying them again.
