What did you think about it compared to regular squat in both intensity and comfort?

I suppose it’s more comfortable on the back of the neck due to the padding. Also, getting a break from having your shoulders behing the bar when squatting helps the shoulders out a bit.
In terms of intensity, I’d say it’s a bit harder than a regular back squat. It almost feels like someone is pushing the bar forward from behind you. It makes your body want to fall forward more, which works the middle back pretty hard so that you can stay upright. I think it’s great for a change of pace and for anyone neededing to work on staying more upright in the squat.
