Itll benefit you in the long run in strength. I liken it to doin half squats. Sure you can do more weight but youre not getting the full benefit and its hard on your knees. Also, I too have a very touchy back and if I do just one wrong, Im out for a week. If I start from the floor everytime, I can concentrate on form.
