Probably because he already has a well developed gluteus maximus and would like an exercise that places more emphasis on the quadriceps instead. If that is the case, then his choice of selecting front squats over back squats is well founded.Routine looks ok, although why no back squat.
I've noticed that you have made your post in the bodybuilding section as opposed to the strength section yet...Monday: Legs
Front squat 3x 4-6
No one has said any different. I did 4 years of mainly 2s and 3s, but I was not a bodybuilder back then. Rep ranges serve a purpose as can be seen by the way Olympic weightlifters train; powerlifters train, and bodybuilders train. You don't become a world class weightlifter performing repetitions best suited for muscle hypertrophy, neither a top notch bodybuilder if you become a slave to the numbers' game.Arnold started on 5x5 and it served him well.
As has been covered before, there are 2 types of hypertrophy, one of which occurs in lower rep ranges the other higher rep ranges

Fadi.
Sorry about that Bazza. Granted I was surmising rather than determining what the actual reason may have been for performing back squats over fronts, which is not the usual way for me to answer a question.That's a pretty good effort to determine that from his initial post.
Monday - heavy upper
Thursday - heavy lower
Friday - light upper
Sunday - light lower
Easy way to do a 4-day upper/lower split.
The problem with push/pull is the massive overlap on delts, glutes and hams.
eg you deadlift and do leg curls or some shit then have to squat the next day?
but i think the main point is that however you train make it intense and brief...if you do that i think you can also generally hit everything twice per week also...obviously there are a lot of factors that come into play however so the OP should decide what his own body can take
