I know pure powerlifters would disagree with this. Dave Tate would adamantly say to keep the bar in a straight line. The shortest distance between two points of course. If I was a powerlifter I'd probably see it the same.

I've also read these same powerlifters say that avoiding the J line and keeping the bar in a straight line lessens the strain on the shoulders. But for the life of me I can't understand how forcing the bar into a straight line when what it wants to do is travel in an arc helps your shoulders any.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
