Would it have been a personal best?

The front squat? It would have been. I was dissappointed with that one. I think I need to get my entire back and quads stronger, but I’ve been focusing on the wrong things for a few weeks.

Ah, that sucks. I personally found, and fixed a weak set of abs/erectors. I now deadlift 390 (30 pound PR). :smiley:
Also, exactly how long did you neglect your quads for them to become a weakness? Mine personally seem to get stronger/bigger just from the indirect work they get from wide/moderate squatting, and the occasional front squat.

I switched my deadlift and squat stances to take stress off my SI joint. I now DL conventional and squat high bar with a narrow-moderate stance in WL shoes with lots of knee travel and a relatively upright back. Conventional DL took off real fast and I soon realized that’s what I should have been doing for a while. The squat has come along a lot slower.

Quads and back seem to be more important with these styles so I’m trying to get my quads to catch up from a couple to a few years of neglect. When I pulled sumo and squatted low bar ultra wide I never needed much quad strength, they were more or less ornaments so I hardly paid any attention to them.
