    As long as the elbow joint goes below the shoulder joint it’s fine by IPF. Allows for a more stable upper back for a safer and more efficient lift. Perfectly fine

      Really? I was always taught to not drop below shoulders to avoid injury. Heck, some trainers even suggest that you start with free weights lying on the floor to avoid going below the shoulders.

      Maybe I got this advice because I’m not a pro athlete.
