Re: 5/3/1 and Front Squats
Sounds like you already know what you should do. If you don't believe the low-bar back squat is helping you reach your front squat goals, it does seem rather silly to keep hammering away at it.

Re: How long to develop good mobility?
If you spent many years getting into a "mobility mess" you can expect it take an equally long time to get out of it. And, to echo what Chris said above, you may never be able to totally undue some...

Re: shoulder flexibility
Hard to say what you need to work on without looking at your posture and where your form breaks down during overhead squats. Can't tell you the number of people I've seen who blame tight shoulders...

Re: weight wendler
