So, I don't have anyone else to really tell about this

33. It looks like you're doing StrongLifts or starting strength

I do StrongLifts. Ankle mobility is pretty crucial but like they say train what is trainable. I think if you can get your butt below your hips you’re doing fine. We don’t (and often can’t) have to go ass to grass. Many people are form and program sticklers. I don’t do bench presses and opt for push ups instead. For squatting there are many choices. I don’t know the limits of your ankle, is it strength or just mobility or both? Front squats use less ankle mobility. If you’re really limited perhaps reverse lunges with progressive weights as you get the movement down. The weight bearing leg is stationary and the ankle moves very little. Which is why I prefer them to front lunges when weight is involved. Box squats can be very beneficial if no box is available use a heavy duty wooden chair.
