I don't see why I wouldn't work. I've been squatting highbar since forever. Maybe you'll stall earlyer because they don't allow as much weight, but I think you should just try it, you're not going to get weaker. I don't see whats wrong either with the occasional grinder, thats what happends if you battle with heavy weights. They usually don't allow crisp form. If your getting stronger and your form isn't entering dangerous injury zone I think you'll be fine.
