Front Sqauat vs. Backsquat #'s

Front squat; 125x5kg (275lbs)

Back squat; 180kgx5 (396lbs)

Both sunk to the bottom @ 90kg, 6’1

Leg strength is alittle off, got another 5-7.5kg on the front squat 5rm, the back squat, however, was balls to the wall. Havent tested a single in ages as no need.

ATG Front Squat, BB style (arms crossed in front): 110 kg/230 lbs x 2
BW: 83 kg/183 lbs.

My back squat is significantly lower - I’m just no good at it. Go figure.

Front squat: 112.5kg
Back squat: 130kg
BW: 78kg

Need to get back to work on my back squat though as I’ve only done them once in the past 6 months.

Front Squat (oly, 12 inches off ground, shoulder width stance): 265

Back Squat (pl, 15ish inches off ground, slightly wide stance): 300

I know I can back squat over 3 plates, I just tested my max coming off a 15 hour sleep week and heavy drinking. What really gets me is my power clean (which granted, I rarely do because I’m still trying to get the form down) is 135. Probably need to do it alot more frequently and develop explosive strength, as I grind out almost all my lifts when working with over 85%.

I know it’s not weak hamstrings, as I snatch grip DL 315 and pull 365 conventional.

Front squat-365
Back Squat-495

just chalk

374 (170 kg) front squat (slight pause - because I pause before my clean recovery)

451 (full/oly) back squat

  • done in a singlet, addidas WL shoes, and socks

my PRs in BSQ and FSQ
BSQ: 405 x 2 (belt only) - parallel (BW= 180)
FSQ: 275 x 2 (BW = 180) (no belt, ATG)
BSQ: 365 x 1 (BW = 176) (no belt, ATG)

Current BSQ is 310 (BW = 188)
oh, and get this… I can only do curls with 20# dbs… for 6 reps… and a few months ago I did a farmer’s walk with 240# in each hand.

Front squat 275x1

back squat 515x1

Why the huge difference. It’s because I squat very wide stance and use all hips, hams and low back. My quads are pretty nonexistent.

Back squat 405 x 5 455?
front squat 225 x 10 290?

Im working on it…

Back Squat- 500
Front Squat- 315x5 , never done a max single on the front squat.

Back- approx 300

No belt or anything (not sure if it matters).

This numbers are a bit lower recently as I havent been seriously traing legs for 2 months (injury),

Front Squat 335

Haven’t tested a full back squat for a single before, but my 5RM is 365.

Front squat 150kg x 2
