@hazelday That's the old school way to rack the bar when you've got no rack!
Also...neuro-muscular development? Odd lifts that require more coordination will make you "stronger" in a more practical sense, because your brain gets used to first, using more of your muscles in conjunction with each other, and then also at angles, instead of just moving the weight in a straight line, like with a standard back squat off a rack.
That's how I understand it anyway. I don't have any medical degrees. :)
You may have no medical degrees, but you've described it very accurately.
Another way to think of it is that a rack squat is a test of linear strength in a fashion that really only applies to the exercise, while the steinborn lift tests multi-angle strength that could be applied to a wide range of real world tasks.
Awkward, maybe, strange, definitely... But a helluva feat
