BTW, who wraps your knees for you?
My coach squats like this, but that's just from flexibility issues and injuries he has. I've tried it and didn't like it, I like to have a good grip on the bar. I think I'd only squat like that to alleviate pressure on my joints if I end up all injured in a few years time

My coach wraps my knees for me.
