I do it also but like you I don't reallyknow if that the best thing to do. As I put far less weight on front squats, I start with back squats as my compound and then move to front squats which seem to me more analytical. Could be wrong though.

Yep, I do them them with no rack = clean the weight from the floor not only works legs but biceps, front shoulders, back a great movement.
