But I now see that he wanted the individual clip on so now it makes sense and no it won't matter if they are turned in or not Think about it ergonamically here is an example lineman blocks he generally has his hands shoulder width apart because that's where u are gonna get the majority of ur strength they are not generally blocking with their hands together and if they try to block with their hands way out past shoulder width the defense generally gets by because he has no strength so if you set your bars too wide you will have no leverage and won't be usuing core strength to throw the bike around it will be all shoulders and arms......I have seen really tiny dudes try to rock db bars and they have no control because they are so spread out and I know someone is gonna say, " Jorian isn't a big guy and he runs db's" obviously there will be some exceptions but there is some food for thought for those of you that are trying to figure out comfort I would start some close to shoulder width and move accordingly

i never thought of it that way.. anyway 30 is about the longest i'd probly go. what do you think would be the drawbacks to running too narrow?
