Especially for front squats, I think it's beneficial to use the bar, or even a broomstick, for warmup. That forces you to focus on form, stay upright and keep that bar in place throughout the ROM. BW squats can allow more variation in torso position like leaning forward.

That's what the name seems to suggest, but yeah... that would indeed be a torture!
