Fellas,

how much and what is the difference between your front squat and behind the head squat ? (if you do both)

my numbers front squat 550 lbs x 6
squat 625 x 5 or 6

and do you find them equally as difficult ?

my front squat sucks...i love doing them though. Anyone have ideas on how to cushion the bar on the shoulders without compromising the safety of the exercise??

Haven't really gone heavy on front squat in a long time. Back when I did, I think the most I ever got was 365x5, and my back squat max was around 500 at the time.

is there a reason to do both front and standard? seems kind of redundant if you really go all out on your regs.

One focuses on quads, the other does not.

Which one focuses the quad. front? And back focuses on ?

Some of you guys use some rediculous weight....

aerowana-Front squat hit quads very well, but still places stress on glutes and hamstrings. BAck squats stress the whole leg but with more emphasis on hams and glutes.
