I'm in pretty much same exact situation. Started back on knee ability on 4/21. Added in ATG ankle exercise every day, 2 sets to burnout....ankles are pretty shitty, especially right one.

Light squat and bench day today. Called it after a couple of reps on each.
Right shoulder not great on bench and left ankle and right hip shitty on squats. Going to stretch them out and mobilise the next couple of days. Need to figure this shit out before next week starts but the body is feeling like a pile of shit right now.
probably starting to overreach, not recovering well.
that split squat routine might be a good back off exercise after your full squat for more vmo action.
there are so many little muscles that will get beat as you add weight to a split squat exercise. hard to go max weight to target your vmo when so many other things give out first.
he claims a 40+ jump and i dont see a vid.
Legs just feel so strong all round, when causally getting off a chair/ground on the balls of my foot with knees well over toes - something I used to dread doing!
If i did a peaking thing to squat 140kg i'd be pretty embarrassed for myself .. i never did it once for when i hit my PRs last year all the way from 140kg to 170kg .. it was just regular training everyday, nothign fancy. I did a good honest workout every day. If im going to start doing 'peaking' to just squat 140kg, one, i dont care about peaking to squat 140kg (lol) but also two, and then what, immediately after, how do i go back to normal training from there?
i do agree with you friend, my goal was just to spend 50 days or so and getting quickly closer to where i was before getting hurt. Like a daily 150kg. And then switch to every other day. But when i ran the daily squat experiment last year my observation was yea it works remarkably well but it had diminishing returns beyond around day 100. in days 50-75, i had achieved most of the gains and should stop there b/c otherwise the joints just take too much of a beating. Last time after day 150, even after complete rest for 3 months, my joints were still not recovered. Never again. Day 100 is the absolute limit.
my goal with daily squatting is just get back to squatting 150kg ish and then focus on something else

Notes:
I'm considering doing the supercompensation thing but i still dont know why someone like me would do it, because im not trying to peak for a comp or a PR or anything like that .. so why do it? I mean in terms of regular training, say even daily training, is there a place for such peaky manoeuvres? Suppose by going for supercompensation i actually end up being stronger/bigger whatever beyond the short term, then it's worth it but im not sure if that's something that happens when you rest? by that i mean not to artificially hit a higher peak right after, but as a way to become stronger long term. in my experience whenever i back off, say from injury or life getting in the way, i never end up stronger .. you end up having to take 2 steps back
