I think back squats are harder.
With front squats, there's a sense of awkwardness, but i feel that they're easier to perform.


front squats take some time getting used to. Once you master them, it's easy. Back squats used to be easy but my knees hurt now whenever I do back squats so I have to overcome the pain during that exercise now.

140kg on front squat is good? I did 120kg x 3 once, bodyweight 75kg. I always thought 150kg is cutoff of what is considerde decent at my bodyweight, lol.

ATM I do 90-100kg 6-8 reps, bud atm on antibiotics I can't do 100kg for more than 4 for some reason. Part of the reason being I do them as second exercise now. Current bw 72kg.

My leg workout is:

squat 1 set
front squat 1-3 sets (most of the time two sets)
one leg press 2-3 sets
leg extensions 2-3 sets
leg curl 2-3 sets

I think i'm weak as fuck man... Whenever I think ok, pound for pound i'm strongest squatter in my gym i watch those 75kg twinks who are way taller than me doing 180kg front squats like it's nothing and I go like... Ok, I suck balls.

I totally suck balls on bench tho. I'm stuck at 100kg for reps. If everything remains same then sooner or later I'll be able to actually fucking overhead press as much as I bench.

I think that bodybuilders should just stop pretending to be strong or something. They should look strong but... Let's be honest, for every "OH DAMN BEAST FRONT SQUATTING 180kg for REPS" there is 80kg olympic lifter which does same shit, just way deeper...

I personally don't think it really matters one way or another. I do reverse lunges because it takes less stress off the knee when going back instead of forwards. I have my athletes do them off a 6" step because I feel we get more hip flexor and glute power from it as well as reinforcing sprint mechanics when done with high knee.

haha you must really shake your head reading all our training protocols  ;D

Sometimes, I just remember that it's bodybuilding and training hasn't really changed much in 35 years :P
