as a serial binge-watcher of ATG videos (yes I know this is a sad credential), I have not seen any elite weightlifter use a LBBS in their training sessions, but they almost certainly do HBBS heavy and often.
But logically speaking, if LBBS gave these guys an advantage on an overall basis (ie. strength gains yield better performance after accounting for additional recovery needed) I would imagine they would all be doing it! As possibly one of the most scientific of sports where performance is measured only objectively (the weight u can CnJ + Snatch), where every kg counts at the highest lvl, why would any team/lifter leave results on the table?
I am positing that max deadlifts are rarely incorporated in sessions for the same reason.
