Then when you press on it it forces you to engage the muscles around the pelvis to help protect the lower back. Excellent point.

They look very tense with doing this and often compensate by arching their lower back or pushing with their feet. I like the kneeling position because you cannot cheat, you have to use the muscles intended for the move. squeezing your glutes and engaging the hip flexors can help eliminate the problem of arching the back.
