If done correctly they are a great exercise for hams, back and core stability.
The ones demoonstrated in the post above don't look right to me. They look far too deep and notice the arch in the back. I do mine with slightly bent knees, my back stays straight and the bar only just goes past my knees. I feel this gives my hams a good stretch without comprimising my back.
