    You may want to widen your grip to make it a bit easier on your wrists. Also stretch your wrists when you done afterwards. It will make getting them under the bar easier.

    Been battling disc problems in my lower back for years. Going to try front squats next leg night to see how it feels on my back. Looks like a more upright position that may work.

    I look up at about 35 degrees. I also try and keep my butt and chest pushed out that keeps the arch in my back. Oh and push off of your heels. lol, try and remember all that while pushing a heavy weight.

    I added another 40lbs onto my front squat this week, not too shaby.

    I would alternate from week to week.

    I do them both. I would say that you need to try and find what works for you. My wife says my work out is more like an "S" and "M" thing than a BodyBuilding thing. lol, arent they all?

    Yes, front squats can replace leg extensions. I don't perform leg extensions ever because they cause my knees to be in pain, even with light weight. Leg extensions also have absolutely no carry over to anything else so I see no need to perform them.

    I do front squats and back squats every week in my leg workout. After those I may put in reverse band squats, rdl's, blute bridges, GHR's, etc. I'm not a fan of any machine that uses a weight stack.
