Harry,
I sprained my ankle badly around March (this year), been working my way up with more emphasis on front squat and lots of ankle mobility stuff you posted from Dick. (the upright angle of f.squats feels easier on my ankles) I tried switching back to back squatting recently and it had been awful. Before the ankle breaking, I could manage 315 lbs max(pathetic I know), but now even 245 lbs is arduous.. Do you have any progression plan to work my back up? or should I increase the frequency and work at 75-85%?
THANKS
Kent,
There are so many great squat training programs on this site already. I am smart enough to know that some of the greatest squatters are right here, and have already put together what you are looking for, and for me to write you another would be 'bout as dumb as a brick and very egotistical.
You need to choose ONE, and stick with it. Work it until you make no gains from it. Tough, if its hard...It's suppose to be. Strength is a product of struggles.
Don't look down on yourself for a light squat! Use that, simply as a starting point. You'll be fine, just make the "decision". Once made, all OTHER decisions and programs will fall into place!
Let me know what you decide.

, Harry Selkow
