I am not sure where to go with this but I am putting it here in the hope that I can pick Bill Hatman's big brain!

I lost my right leg below the knee. Since I don't have a calf their, quad and hip development is crucial to my ability to rise and stand. I also developed a sharko foot on my remaining left foot. I have gotten specially made orthotics and that seems to be addressing the problem.

My question is this. I was doing body weight squats and body weight one legged squats and King deadlifts. My foot doctor said that he would prefer I do body weight lunges and split squats because he doesn't want to put too much strain on my foot. My question is this: I think that the lunges and split squats put more stress on the foot because of the bending than squats which have little if any foot bending. Shouldn't I be doing BW squats and maybe split squats rather than lunges to protect the foot? I think the foot doctor my be envisioning some major squat with competition weight and foot bending and supporting the weight.

Thanks in advance!

By the way, I think Muscle Prescription was great and I don't understand why there wasnt more of a push for it.
