Adding in Front squats

I would like to add front squats into the 5x5 routine but not sure best way to do it. I am thinking I have two options.

Option1 - instead of back squats on DL days (workout B) do back squats.

Option 2 - Just add them into workout A. I am thinking this is my best option as I already feel like I am not doing enough on theses days.

I appreciate any feedback.

    Option 3 - do it every "middle" day. So if you work out M/W/F add them in every Wednesday.

    Are you adding them in exchange for back squat? Or are you going to do both @5x5? Just curious because I like front squats also.

    I've been wanting to add in front squats too, I'll try adding it to the middle workout too :) I feel like my quads don't get worked enough.
