I don't like going any closer than having my elbows fully tucked with my forearms perfectly perpendicular to the ground. I don't really see the point.

Try doing that with a reverse and thumbless grip. It worked really well for me.

Pinky on the ring @ 6'2" or if I feel like going "close" then forefinger on the knurling.
