Squat question. Since adding the board under my heels I've gone backwards, without it I had hit 6 reps on the final set of a 3x8 routine and was working towards getting the 7th and 8th.
Then I added the board as my ankle still won't allow good form, have to have legs way out and feet angled to get down and it feels uncomfortable. The board allows a narrow stance and deeper squat but seems to have cost me power, I assume I'm now using slightly different muscles that aren't up to task.
First attempt with the board was only 4 reps and failed the 5th, tonight it was only 3 reps and failed the 4th (may have been the jog I did yesterday that made it worse as I'm trying to get my ankle back to being able to handle jogging again).
This video shows without the board ( this was the end of my session tonight, sorry it's slightly crooked). You can see wider stance needed and not heaps low. I add the board at the end but the next video shows it better.

This video shows with the board from the front, this feels better but seems to cost me power?

This is with the board from the side, sorry the video seems a little high, but you can see back, shoulder and hip position.
