Whats your back squat compared to front squat?

I've been doing a lot of fronts lately. I love how intense they are.

I haven't done a 1 max rep for back squats yet, but I'm guessing it's probably 275 or 280 since I do 265x2.

I did front squats today for 195. I think I can probably do more for fronts since the 195 wasn't too difficult. Maybe an 8 on a scale of 1-10.

i can pop out 6-8 reps of 540 on the back squat.... front squat is around 8 at 360. (me doing front squats is really messy)

I've never really gotten the reason for front squatting. Even with the bar behind your neck you can so easily shift the poundage more to your quads with slight adjustments to your stance. Sure not as much as fronts, but plenty enough to blast them pretty well.

Sit back and blast glutes and hammmies or shift "into the pocket" easing a bit more on the balls of your feet and think about using more quad.

Haven't done a heavy Back Squat in a long time.

Box Squat, easy 700 x 2
Box Squat, 572+ 90 lbs bands + 90 lbs chain x 2
Front Squat, roughly upper 4's or so before I have issues keeping the bar in place and not passing out.
