Another thing I can mention beside the slow rise is that, due possibly to the way I'm built or past damage done, in order to remain relaxed and flat on my feet, it helps to have some way to counterweight with my hands by holding a chair leg, pole or weight. If I don't I must lean so far forward that my heels lift - no good. I can't relax into it unless I'm flat footed. If I use a chair leg, I don't use it to push me back up, although I suppose one could. I usually hook my fingers under a stone(s), DB(s) or pinch whatever is handy. It requires very little effort to give it enough counterweight. I realize that you may have no prohibiting injuries or body mechanics, so may not apply to your situation. any doortop anchor with a threaded lanyard, sheet or better yet, a Forearm Forklift thru the loop will provide good support. I put my elbows thru the loops & squat. It's advisable that the door opend away from u before u place ur anchor over the doortop.

To counter my imbalance, I would anchor at the bottom of the door, but that sounds like a good and adaptable idea. I don't have a Forearm Forklift so I tried the child squat with my arms through loops on my Sierra Suspension Strap which is held down with a DB. I like this best so far. One of Bruce's black band loops should work too. Thanks!

Idea, could use suspension trainer behind head and get some neck hold action while getting a little balance support in the squat bottom hold position.

Continuing with my journey. Yesterday was my second interval workout. 15 rounds 0:35 squat bottom hold EMOM. Was able to stand up all 15 rounds without hands in knees assistance. Will keep this interval workout at 15 rounds but bump the squat hold time up and decrease standing recovery within EMOM. Will test for a 7-minutes hold in next week.
Legs feel worked in a noticeable yet nice way.

Then you progress to squat on two and carry one.

Advanced tip: try doing these squats with both feet pointing straight ahead. Much more challenging on the hip flexors.

My training continues. I’m doing a workout I’ve named Asian Squats Interval Training to build total hold time with timed holds every so often when I believe I might beat my previous best.
I’ve set a goal of 10:00 which I hope to achieve by my 66th birthday in a couple months. Seems do-able.

Did an 8:00 Asian Squat today which is a new best for me. It was tough at the end. My journey continues.

Gruntbrain squat work that most anyone can do:
I hope to acquire some Asian squat benefits by holding onto a suspension trainer . I settled for 3 1/2 minutes with an assisted deep squat .

To mitigate the damage done from your younger day, do sphincter kegals in the bottom position to improve your cuts when pinching a loaf.

I'm thinking along the lines of something analogous like stomach vacuums here.
