    Anyone dealing with depression of anxiety?

    Can front squats replace normal squats?

    First attempt at front squats today...with just the weight of the bar, I couldn't keep it from rolling forward. Tried a few variations on grip and where i was looking until my trainer said no 'that looks like shit' and we went back to the back.
