The bar is much more stable and supported in that position.

I’m guessing you are doing Globo Front Squats (arms crossed in front). This is what I see most big guys doing at the gym. Most if not all do not have the shoulder mobility for front rack. No comment on the smith machine....lol

Yeah....arms in front. I've actually got pretty good mobility, just my balance sucks!!

I think the mobility came from all the years I boxed. So I still flex, stretch, and train to have my shoulder girdle development as equal as possible.
