Yeah, I get lower back pain as well. I attributed it to latent injuries from my severe back injury last summer and weakness that has been associated with that injury.

What I do is I support the vertical leg slightly with a hand just below the knee. I add light pressure, no more than a few lbs worth if that to the vertical leg and keep the horizontal leg off the ground and the pain goes and I still get the workout.

It's the equivalent to using the chair to squeeze out some pullups.
