I do a standard 8 sets of 8 for front squats, nothing too heavy
There's nothing standard about 8x8 for front squats.
What was your training history for legs before this program?
What do you do on other days?
Before you get all complicated with supplements and recovery, Id look at why exactly you're doing 8x8 front squats. Throwing a random high volume into a program just because you think you need the pump in some muscle group isn't a great way to go about it, and your body is letting you know.
For that specific exercise, which is both a great targeter and connector of the legs as a complete system, that would be a lot of knee-focused joint stress.. especially if you're adding in other leg lifts same day.
