Teaches you to accelerate the bar, helps power production, increases motor unit recruitment - whichever term you prefer. Basically helps you lift more weight by using light weights moving fast. Light weight moving fast is like heavy weight moving slow in some ways.
I thought of that but your problem isn't a power issue, it's a keeping your back in extension issue which those won't help with. It's an isometric contraction problem.
