I've always thought your front sq should be about 85% of your back.
Let's dig deeper....your front squat should be 125-130% of your clean.
Your snatch should be about 80% of your clean...
What's that...? You can snatch 90kg? You should be able to clean & jerk around 110. You should have a front squat max of about 140kg and back squat 175kg.
Thanks man. I honestly believe that I was a very gifted young lifter with the potential to go all the way to freakiness!!! But that did not come to fruition I’m afraid... silly me!
Never mind Pete. Everything happens for a reason, at least that's my belief and I've got to be content with my past since there aint a way in heaven of changing it Sir !
ermm, nothing good in relation to front squat. Only did them the other day for the first time and the main thing I learned is I need to get my wrists more flexible.
FS: 40 kg, BS I've had at 105
Why did this happen? Lots of front squats but not so many back squats?
___________________________
For me, my front squat is 77% of my low bar back squat.
when i traind with top weightlifters in early 1980s, Bill Stellios (Commonwealth champ) told me at time he clean and jerked 180kg his best front squat was 180kg (same as clean) and 210kg for back squat.
Pretty close.
At time my best front was 120kg, also same as my best full and power clean, and 132.5kg for back squat.
I stopped front squats after that as i got heavier and stronger, and lost a lot of fexibility necessary for front squats.
Back squatted 6 on 180kg, albeit with poor form later on in early 1990s with a lot of back, and have never front squatted more than 80kg since.
