Yes, or forgo lower body movements till you're fully healed, yes i understand it's hard.

>>34522569
Lookin good in that video OP. I'd smash your mouth.

I've healed years ago stopped training after a while because I'm an idiot and now still stuck with the problem

right now the side imbalance is noticeable in almost all standing exercises (I can DL lmao1p8 with no form problems at all tho)
squat is the worse and I'd rather save my back for the long run

>>34522569
Compound movements should have low forces on the knee ligaments like the acl and pcl.

It's isolation movements that are harder on the ligaments.

Jamaal Charles pls go

>>34523550

the ligament is fine
the muscle lost too much volume/strength and isn't able to keep up with the other leg hence the form

Then you should probably just do unilateral exercises to even it out.

>>34523638
that's the point of the thread, asking beside split squats what I should/could do to work towards squat

>>34523794
Lunges, (sideway) step-ups, single-leg glute-bridges, single-leg hip-thrusts, hip abduction/adduction machine, sidelying bodyweight hip abductions.

Although not unilateral, can still be useful:
back extensions, glute-ham raises, hanging leg raises.

Also, single-leg squats, while holding on to a bar to control weight.
While these are the best to build up to squats, they are fairly heavy on the knees, so be careful.
