I know they emphasize different groups, but front squats just feel more comfortable to me. Must be my girly hamstrings...

Hell no baw. High bar squats for the win.

I hate bars.

Air squats FTW!

I don't prefer them, but I seem to be disproportionately better at them than a lot of folks. I also don't hate them like many do. Now, overhead? I'd just as soon never do that again.

It’s easier to hit depth at the heavier weights on front squat due to bar placement.

I did low bar squats for a while when I competed in powerlifting, but that was a while ago.

Front squats are great for atlas stone training

I shoot for low, but always end up doing high

I love doing front squats. I do both on my leg days. Then follow those up with pause squats. I like squats.
