    Low weight squats everyday, that I’m not working a dedicated leg routine?

    I tore my ACL a few years back and worked ROM over strength

    There’s an imbalance in my inner quad on operated side

    If I were to include high volume low weight , with heels raised on some smal plates. Is this a roughly good idea to train my glutes to fire easier and to build up strength through my operated leg.

    Or should I just keep my pus/pull/leg routine?

    Consult with your doctor and physio or anyone with dedicated medical knowledge surrounding your condition.

    But aside from that, I can't see too too much sense in what you're saying. Volume, is generally assumed to be a number of *hard* sets. So we can't really call that high volume if you're nowhere near failure.

    Adding to that, I can't see why you would elevate your heels, making the movement more quad focused, if glute activation is the goal.

    Furthermore, I dunno why the alternative to all this is to do a PPL. We're dealing with an ACL issue, muscular imbalances around your knee, potentially lagging glutes from the sound of things and a difficulty squatting. Idk why a PPL, which is nothing more than a split, would be the solution to that.

    Just regular squats with focus on solid technique and slowly adding weight.

    A tempo can be good for low load rehab work while still getting good work in.
