Front squats and my hands

[old guy]

The only reason I'm doing front squats anyway is to force myself to do lighter squats one day a week. I figured if they were light AND challenging that might keep me interested and not tempt me into making it another heavy session.

I know it isn't popular here where the back squat ( low bar) is THE squat exercise but I really like the front squat. Keep doing them.

Andy Baker mentions them as a solid choice for a light-day variant in his HLM articles on his blog. I don't have my copy of PPST3 in front of me at the moment, but I could swear they're an option in there as well.
