I was thinking that too. Makes sense if you can get leverage with a wider grip that prob would work. Having just done wide grip yesterday I recall it’s less controlled but much closer to the chest. But I went lighter weight. You’ll have to find a sweet spot.Had Andy Bolton (I've competed against him 2x in grip competitions) comment.
I think I need to space my hands even more and go even lower down my body to get it to touch.
