Front Squats & Back Squats
Is this normal? To be able to load more weight on the back squat than the front squat? Many thanks. RZW

Yes, it's normal. Most people can back squat substantially more than they can front squat.
For example, front squats are a relatively strong exercise for me, and my front squat is just over 80% of my back squat.

I am horrible at front squats, and despite having what I consider to be a strong back, my lower back does not like them.
My front squat max is currently only 60% of my back squat max.
