Wow, these are all interesting variations. The zombie squat was challenging, ended up reverting to the back squat. But I have been working more on bracing and added in some abdominal work from Pavel's old book.

Helps to get the barbell in the “rack” position. Put your pointer and middle finger in line with the gnurling. Push your elbows as far foreword as possible. So it looks like you are pointing forewrod with your elbows. The barbell should be completely weighted on your chest-shoulders. Your...
