Do you front squat for injury reasons or personal preference?

I can front squat 3 - 25 LB plats? 

I am also thinking of making a line of T-shirts that just say "NO REP" on the front?

Injury T_T I got a herniated disc doing back squats. Turns out that front squats put less stress on it ^_^

We do Back Squats, Front Squats, Overhead Squats, Goblet Squats...

All slightly different exercises

My front rack form needs A LOT of work. I can't get my elbows high enough.

I miss front squats. I hope I get to do them soon.

My trainer is trying to fix my core strength and some of my movement patterns so some lifts have been removed from my training plan for awhile.

I have to be very careful doing squats, deadlifts or overhead presses.  I have a disk that loves to herniate itself if I have even the slightest incorrect form.  I've gotten to where I wear a back brace doing any of those three.  So far, when I've had it on I haven't hurt anything.  Not sure if its the belt or the fact that the belt reminds me to keep my back arched.
