But in this way you have to push the weight higher, because harms get higher from the shoulders

Arturo Gómez:
yes, is more length of trajectory.
But this is one of the calculus I can do :
My arm measures 60 cms.
If I grip the bar with the hands just out of the shoulders, the arm stays vertical at the end of the jerk. So, the distance is 60 cms.
If I catch a grip 10 cms more wide of each side, by Pythagoras, I calculate the height as:
sqrt (60 x 60 - 10 x 10) = 59,2
Less than 1 cm. of difference.
In my case, is too few if I compare with the unstability that comes of the wider grip.
