115 each hand, pretty strong, but the man is a beast willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Nothing wrong with that but I personally gotta have that balance!

why do big guys have such shitty ROM? Always irritates me.

He is working his delts, not locking out can help save the join especially under such pressure.

I hate when people shit on something when clearly it works.

It's just annoying to me. I frequently see big guys do it with other exercises as well, namely bench press. Not all big guys and not all exercises, but I see it more frequently with big guys.

and as if reducing your ROM that much will really "save" your joints. The joint is going to be under the most pressure while it's bent at the bottom of the lift, not when in its final stages of being straightened.

fwiw, I don't lock my elbows completely either, but there is a difference between not locking your elbows and what he is doing. At the end of the day, it's not a big deal, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

Also, I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying mobility is important and that is something big guys notoriously lack.
