The SSB tilts you forward no matter what. Doing it backwards makes you REALLY tip forward lol. The guys said that there's a few of them that prefer doing it the "harder" way for obvious reasons.
Doing it "correctly", understand that the bar remains extremely high on your traps, and with the addition of the padding raised up higher still. So picture doing box squats with two of the foam pads on the bar pitching the bar up extremely high.
