The triceps and shoulder girdle/upper back have a lot to do with how well front squats are done, when first attempted. Including balance also. Its their degree of stretch and flexability while holding the bar on the upper chest/delts and how the bar "sets"there. Most important is that the elbows be kept as hight as possible when starting out with front squats.
Might use just a lighter weight at first, getting adjusted to the front placement. It's a learning exercise, and for most, takes time to get use to. With the stretch and flexability the main concern. After awhile a heavier bar should feel fairly rock solid in that position. The bar will usually cradle quite well on the shoulders/upper chest. For most, front squats are an excelent quad builder.
Some advance guy's will cross the arms, keep the arms out and at a angle, on the finger tips, etc, etc.. Lot depends on body type/bone length & flexability. If you still find front squats not to your liking than don't do them...your choice. No sense being a slave to something you don't like or may even invite injury to you. Good Luck.
