My goal here would be to not break down my lower back with too much volume on DL but still get a moderate-volume leg workout with the front squats. Back squat would still have its own day, of course. Does this even make sense? I haven't used front squats as a major part of my routine before.

I do this exact thing and think it works great.

I am not a powerlifter nor am I a bodybuilder. I just want to be big and strong.
