    Got a link? I can't squat (without a weight), and I'd really like to be able to. I'm fairly certain the problem is in my ankles, as I can squat okay when I elevate my heels

      shin splints and squat PT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSYrcj4rfF8&t=240s probably not the best out there, but is working for me now

      full squat mobility routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqF90pMpjb4 they have a list of exercises at the end if you want to printout

      I'm probably gonna check this one out soon and add to my list- supplemental squat warmup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZlmSNrMBP8

      Let me know if you all have other warmup routines for squats. If anything it's taught me I need to 1) start very slow and 2) actively strengthen AND warmup my ankles and shins every time if I want to progress.
