For Squats: The bend reduces direct strain on the bicep tendon and allows increased back rigidity while squatting and proper joint centration via scapular retraction is incredibly important for strength and injury prevention. Also, an improved ability to generate core stability due to the reduced mobility demands of the shoulders allows you to avoid excessive spinal extension and maintain neutrality in a back squat rack position. For Bench Press: You get a neutral grip while bench pressing eliminating stress on shoulder and wrist joints while gaining an increased training effect from the additional range of motion. These improvements lead to correct pressing patterns.
