I agree that it is dumb. Learning reverse grip is not really an acceptable reason to include it. Reverse grip is really quite easy and doesn’t need this stupid skill as a progression.
In Canada we did not require the skill in any compulsory. So far as I know … zero coaches used it as an undergrip progression. Almost any alternative is superior.
It’s really not a dumb skill. It is truly the only time the compulsory has to learn the under grip for future front giants.
