Uses: deadlifts, shrugs, farmers walk, weighted jumps, etc.

With racking the bar:
Deadlift: change the weight easily with different strength levels.
Bench: hands are in the neutral position less stress on the shoulder.
Overhead Press : plenty of room for your head, throw in some wrist stability, now you're able to go deep with your press.
