I always had trouble with high bar/low bar squats, getting to full depth without back pain was a problem. Zerchers are so simple, they really help teach the right squat form IMO. Just brace and sit down with it, and bonus is that going down until the bar touches your thighs ensures you’re going full depth.
Did a Zercher squat with 1 rep of 225 today. Felt so awkward. Compared to a front squat, it seemed like it was somehow more stable with my center of gravity and balance, but less stable in the sense that my arms had less control over its positioning. Maybe it’s a learned skill, could probably get used to it as an accessory.
