So I came across this squat program the other day, messed me up more than I was expecting. You take 65% of your 1RM Front Squat and do 7 Front Squats and 13 Back Squats with no rest between other than to rack bar on your back x 4 sets.
Give it a go and let me know what you think, maybe I'm just a pussy
If anyone is interested I can post the whole 10week program
For me there is about 20kgs difference between front/back squat without a belt and 30kgs with.
I've always had a really weak squat, currently my best lifts are 140kg back and 110kg front. The clip of my 100kg clean and jerk was equal to my best front squat at the time.
My squat is something I'm always trying to improve
I did the front squat/back squat program again today with 70kgs, only 3 sets though
Bumping an old thread instead of creating a new one about front squats.
Do others front squat with blocks under your heels? I couldn't see the advantage in it until I tried them. The block allowed me to be more upright and go deeper, giving the quads a better workout.

Yes, the very nature of Front Squats makes it easier to roll forward onto the Toes. Never had a problem with depth though. Haven't used wood under heel since teenager I think.
Definitely notice a difference between flat shoes and my oly shoes. A lot easier to get full depth with the heel for me. Haven't squatted on planks for years and not about to start though
