Front Squats are great, but they hurt my knees, so I don't do them all the time. I switch them up with box squats. I also do old-school barbell hack squats one week and switch those with leg press the next. I think I get the most out of the front squats and barbell hacks. It all comes down to what works best for you.

Quite the opposite for me, sometimes I would get minor knee pain with back squats but never with front squats. Guess it depends on structure/build.
I prefer front squats but I usually alternate front and back squats every other workout.

there are more factors then just this simple answer but the shorter you are the more you generaly benefit from squats and lot of pressing movements which most high level athletes are not short. Everyone benefit just once you get close to genetic limits they become much more dangerous and not practical.

If you're a drug free trainer/bodybuilder  you don't need to worry about that.

High rep squats are straight from hell, but they'll build your legs into tree trunks.

I agree, high rep squats are the best.

Sure, leg presses are fine, but don't confuse it with the real thing.

"all CNS and tendons"

sure you get some muscle gains as well but you could get better gains with less weight and more reps

Then use less weight, less sets & reps, & less effort in order to achieve your goals.

What goals? I wanna lift big weights. That's my goal. My goal is to squat, bench and deadlift more than anybody in my weight class.

Why? Why wouldn't I do what I like?

I work normal job to get money. Why do I show off my muscles? Because I like them. They're not my goal and I have enough muscle mass for me which I gained through strength training. I do not need more and I easily maintain and even gain some through the same training that created them.
