I do them every now and then on the smith machine...I like to superset them with something as well.

Two suggestions:
1. Don't use the smith machine. Freeweight > Smith for a wide variety of reasons
2. Give zercher squats a go. In particular for those who find that front squats hurt their shoulders (often delts give in before quads). Gives the same, if not better results than front squats.

It is when you do squats by holding the bar in the joint between the forearm and upper arm. It is not that easy to explain in words . Check it out here: http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/exerc...rchersquat.htm

I do front squats only when i experience patellar distress with regular barbell squats...IMO they're not as effective
