The back is used to keep the bar close and support the rack, neither are an issue for this particular lifter

Arms aren't used much in weightlifting at all.
This is kinda what the article is about, Jamie. There should be NO WEAK LINKS in a lifter. Arms aren't used much if they aren't strong. If your coach teaches you that you don't use your arms and that you don't need arm strength, I suppose you learn to get by without it. And it works well enough to win the Nationals. Have you seen Kurlovich jerk? Pisarenko? Dimas?
