How would it be for someone who has lower back pain (SI joint issues)? I have dropped back squats for a time and am only doing fronts, which do not cause any pain.
I’ve had pain in my SI a couple times from deads. Squats with SSB were never an issue for me.

They work great for it in my experience. I have some mild SI issues on and off myself. Much like a front squat, having the weight forward keeps your back upright. Of the squat variations, the SSB is most similar to a front squat… but still pretty different.
