SSB finally came in and it is such a godsend. Gone is any shoulder pain while squatting.

I just got a $100 bar from Amazon, as I don't think I'll be squatting 800 pounds any time soon. In fact I'm going super light for now to really work on my form again. Like .. super light. View attachment 597581

Depends on what your goals are. With shoulder, biceps, elbow, etc. pain from squatting it for sure is a good variant. You may find these humbling as they shift the center of mass forward and put more demand on quads meaning you'll likely squat less but in truth will still get a lot of benefit from them. You'll get some upper back work from them too since it is harder to brace without being closed chain there.
