Back sqauts should be considerably easier than back sqauts right? Well, apparently, my front squat PR is much, much higher than my back. I struggle with my back sqauts. I need a lot more power and strength coming from my butt, hips and quads but if I can't back squat how can I get that power? I hate back squats. - I never ignored them but I would much rather do front sqauts. I know a few female lifters that have the same problem. Is that weird? Why would I be better/heavier with fronts?
