Sitting with a ball and using my arms to apply pressure, I've not found any other way to do it hard enough. Sit with the target leg bent (knee up, foot close to your ass), clasp your hands round the ball and pull it into your shin. It's more press than roll really though you can roll a little
ETA: not sure if that was clear so stickman:

Form is pretty much perfect on those front squats.
Why don't you back squat?

Yeah you don't exhibit any of the common front squat problems I see such as thoracic rounding or shooting the hips back and/or up. Torso stays vertical throughout, like you are sliding your back and and down a wall. Just genuinely good front squatting.
Things like leg pressing and strongman stuff are far more likely to damage your back than squats.

Thanks, won't bother doing more working on it then
I first injured it in 11/12 academic year so I've done process of elimination on pretty much everything I can and can't do. I can't explain it cause I'm crap at biology but back squat seems to be fairly common as a problem for people with back issues. Maybe now I've got better ankle mobility I could do a more upright high bar squat but I really don't like the risk of weeks of it affecting my day to day movement.

2hrs TKD
Warm up
Pad work: axe kick, axe kick into punch, turning into hooking kick, hooking into turning kick
Pad sparring
Teaching cause the black belt who was supposed to be doing it decided just to teach one pair
The end of my 10+ year break from competition has been confirmed, instructor said he has me a perfect match for Saturday which I assume means height and grade and he convinced them not to care about weight
I'm hoping it's just one match, but should get the full list soon

My sarcasm detector doesn’t work digitally
In terms of overall volume it’s **** all but in terms of number of warm up sets I probably do to many but I find it psychologically helpful

I really wasn't being sarcastic. I saw the numbers and there seemed to be a high number of reps

Nah for a 1RM of 150 it's fine.

At 100kg+ he does one set of 3 reps than only single reps thereafter.

I thought the @10 indicated repeats.

Ah no, by that he means his perceived level of effort for that set (as in his 1 rep at 150 was 10/10 hard and was absolutely the most he could have done at that particular time).
Now I'm less confused about the lack of sarcasm

Tae Kwon Do competition today. I lost my match, the guy was good and I didn't do my best. But it's my first competition in over a decade so I'm ok with that.

My club drew on both our matches (it's a team league) and we think those were the two toughest opponents. We're happy with that, we're still very much in it at joint second because nobody won both. Someone else took a video but I doubt I'll be able to get it from facebook group to here
lost or win does not matter at initial stages I thought. I want see your match video . let me know the link if you get it.

I'm 90% of the way to black belt so not very initial
but it makes the rust more obvious. But given I've not even competed as an adult before, I had to go throw myself back in to get a feel for it and I'll improve it quickly because I know what I need to think about now. I'm not annoyed or disappointed at myself at all. I'm actually really impressed with myself with how I wasn't nervous because I used to get horribly nervous, that makes me feel much better going in to future matches.We've got three more sides to face in the next two months, I'm a difficult height and grade to match an opponent with but I should get another one or two matches.
It'll probably be a day or two til ll our videos get uploaded (we had 16 then 14 matches!) but I'll see if I can rip it off FB

I missed going to the gym because of TKD comp info coming to light. It's not fair on anyone innocently involved to post details so publicly and I won't be posting the video for similar reason but I've now won my match by DQ.
Will do some yoga, stretching and foam rolling tonight
