I've been front squatting ass to the floor every week for about a month now. My knees constantly ache but it's only slight and they feel more numb than anything for the most part.
I would suggest trying some neoprene knee sleeves if you haven't already. They are totally unlike wraps (very very little assistance in the lift) but very good at keeping the joints warm and stable. They were a life-saver during my foray into 20 rep squats.

But, between the rehab and the front squats, my abs and lower back muscles are like steel cords now.
I can imagine. Good luck!

The noprene sounds like a good idea. I'd be concerned about the knee pain I think. It would be a drag to cause a knee injury just to avoid aggravating a rib injury. Why do they hurt more with front squats anyway?

I don't know why they hurt more. ATG squats have always bothered my knees more. I do have a bad left knee that gets aggravated more than the other one.

I have a pair...somewhere. I've thought about wearing them.
