So I decided to start a blog. I'll use it to chronicle my workouts. I've disabled comments for the time being. If you would like to comment on my workouts, please do so in my journal

When I do front squats the movement tends to be a lot faster and more explosive than when I do back squats. The pause at the bottom is much shorter (basically non-existent). Maybe that's my problem with back squats.

If you think that might be the problem, do you think that you might just be over-thinking your back squats (that's a lot of thinking). Maybe you've decided that it's a weak lift for you, so you're over-thinking the movement when you should be exploding upwards?
Just a thought (cos I thinking, with all the thinking). |

I think you may be overworking your legs
Between direct legwork, olympic lifts and deadlift variants you legs are worked pretty hard every week My puny squat had a mini plateau a while back but moving to an upper/lower split helped get things going again |
