66% isn’t bad at all, you may just have uber long legs that makes front squatting really tough, but I would personally just focus on your front squat for a bit and you’ll find you get out of the hole much easier, as well as get your deadlifts off the floor much easier.
Hope that helps.[/quote]
I squat 3-4x a week right now. How many of those do you think would be best devoted to FS?

What fed do you plan to compete in? Suited, only knee wraps, or raw?
Since you care about squat depth a lot, I would say that could get into trouble at IPF meets. It’s borderline depth I would say.
I’m in a similar situation. I have borderline IPF depth but would rather have a true “no-doubt-about-it IPF depth”.

I compete raw right now.
I don’t compete in the IPF, I just go deep enough to get a good rebound off my calves, and when I make contact there I go up, it tells me I’ll have the quads to get out of the hole.
I compete in the CPF, and they call it just at 90’, I still try to get down there tho.

I’d probably go front squat, back squat, front squat, back squat,… then once you get your ratios up, I’d drop it to once a week
