I will be finishing up 3 10x3 weeks to get an idea of where i’m at with my goals this week, and I am finding that my Front Squats (405lbs) and Flat BB Bench (425lbs) and very close in weight but the bench is still heavier…
Is anyone else like this or do i front squat the weight of a big pale girl?
I feel like the Front squat should be a good bit heavier in comparison…am i alone on this one?

Would you please describe how deep you go when you front squat? My front squat (to parallel) max is well above my bench press max…

Would you please think before posting? I watched the video and he sank it deep.
Alpha, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Your backsquat is just about 100# over your bench. And both are very respectable #'s imho.
What do you gain by having your front squat higher than your bench, anyway? But if you really want to improve it, there’s always smolov!

I recently did a 1RM test of my bench and front squat since I needed it to calculate my percentages for 5/3/1.
They were exactly the same. However, in the past my bench was usually 5-15lbs higher.

Well i don’t gain anything from my FS being higher–it just seemed kind of back-arse-wards and I was wondering if any of you were in a similar situation…
