Front squat or back squat

Which of these lifts is best for developing the quadricep muscle ? I wanted to focus on this primarily and needed some advice.

Quad? Front squat

i'm a big fan of front squats in the first place because they give you more bang for your buck and plus you can't cheat on them

most guys in the gym do back squats wrong anyway and/or ego lift which gets them little progress

Both are great for quads.
What will dictate your results is not a specific exercise, but your diet and the periodization of the training as a whole.
Do you want big quads? Increase the volume, frequency and intensity and eat for your goal.

Front squats put more emphasis on the quads

back squats put more emphasis on the hips/lower back
