Dunno. Maybe they forget about ‘em. Maybe they’re more functional at a lighter weight and higher reps; those come up more often. Maybe they’re too similar to thrusters and squat cleans; perhaps they’re less beneficial, so thrusters and squat cleans get priority.
Front squat singles have not come up in years. The most recent front squats we have done were 3′s on May 4, 2009.
Why do you think that is?

i’ve never done front squats–i’m looking forward to this.
Ha! If you’ve done a thruster or a squat clean, you’ve done a front squat!
good point. i’ve done both! see you in the morning.

front squats: 44-49f-49-49f-49-54f-54
I had trouble going low enough without going too low- it was an experiment!
Note to self on pull-ups: don’t use the highest pull-up bars – your feet can’t reach the bands! (And you might fall off the box trying…)
