I don't have the technique/flexibility in the wrists to really test myself on front squats, so I tend to just chase the pump in the quads with them rather than go heavy like with back squats.. whenever the weight starts getting up, it starts slipping from my shoulders due to sweat.
My front squat is pathetic compared to back squat, like [MENTION=10506]judgey[/MENTION]; when I front squat I go for reps instead of weight as I don't think my technique is quite there...
I was reading a study a while ago about this and they claimed you should be able to front squat 85% of your back squat weight. But most people don't practice front squats enough to build it up.
I only front squat 50-60% of my back squat, but this is because I do them directly after back squats to get the quads burning.
Mine is about 70% of my back squat. I can just go over BW for front squat. I chicken out and bail as soon as I sense my stability starts to wane at this weight, so can't do too many reps just yet.
