I notice less 4 arm pump with a fatter bar, both for moto-x and gym. I like it

hmm i would have thought you would have more of a forearm pump with the fatter bar.. i have to use straps anyways when i start getting to my working sets

If you learn to pull through your elbows and not with the biceps and forearms so much you'll find you'll better engage the lats and your arms won't be as much of a factor.

I thought my form was good but I usually do this movement as a warm up.I also usually use an open hook grip and concentrate on squeezing the blades together...but I did feel this more in the lats.Couldnt find the damn thing next time.
