why? it is actually a very good exercise? Oldtime strongman used to do it and it is a very good balancing and grip exercise. I do these regullary.

That's an idiotic statement. Single arm deadlifts with DBs are an excellent exercise, doing them with a BB just makes it harder on your grip and core to keep stable.

Agree. If you have bodybuilding purposes this exercise is not for you, which is not the case here, the guy is a strongman and it's an excellent exercise for core, grip and strength.
