ClubFoot, knee valgus. little mobilty. Trying to squat
Hello everyone
This is my first post here and extremely happy to have joined the community.
I was born with severe club foot and knee deformity as a baby I had surgery done on my left foot (addressing short tendons around the inside foot) and had corrective casting and speciality shoes done until about I was 8 years old.
I am currently 24 years old 175 cm and 77kg bodyweight. Have been training properly for the last 6 months and about half way through my novice progression. (135kg deadlift,80kg bench) but due to mobility issues I have with my legs I have been very cautious with my squats and the most I've ever gone was 80kg for 7 reps.
I am still dealing with very poor ankle mobility, feeling a strain Achilles tendon from running or skipping and about 9cm of knee valgus between my feet and very flat feet with about 1.5 size difference in the left and right foot.
My main issue is I can't hit parallel depth without at least 1.3 inches of plates under my heels.
I am currently using plates underneath my heels with my regular Nike metcons. But I feel like it's too dangerous. Looking to purchase the Adidas Leistungs with 1 inch heels and adding a little heels with the help the cobbler.
Is there any thing I should be doing to help my squats? I don't have much issue with deadlift (I deadlift barefoot) but my squats are a mess but really trying to improve them.
Here are some picture of the situation in my legs.
