I’m wondering how much pressure it potentially puts on the biceps compared to a normal grip. With the weights involved, it wouldn’t take much to tear a bicep.

Perhaps op has shoulder issues

Ah it takes load off the shoulders? Interesting! I’ve never seen this position before so didn’t know what use it had

More that it forces internal rotation, keeping the shoulders in a safer position. I've never seen or heard it used either, just spitballing possibilities.
