I will buy a pair of 7mm sleeves today and look into the Spanish squats. Appreciate the feedback.

Make sure the tempo on your squats is controlled. Dropping fast into the hole puts insane shock on that tendon.

Exactly. A 3-second descent will build massive isometric control and safe adaptation.

Good luck. Tendons heal slowly due to minimal blood flow, so keep consistent.

Give it 4-6 weeks of loading phase. You will smash PRs again pain free.
