HEy Jock,

I doubt you got any weaker bro, this sounds neuro-muscular to me, in other words your muscles have 'forgotten' the co-ordination required to pull of a good heavy squat. You may still be able to squat but unless all the right motor units fire at the right times you will have a reduction in strength.

I should think that explains it as I am sure your diet is spot on, knowing you from old

and considering you have kept up the leg exercises it wouldn't be a loss of muscle necessarily.

Quickest way to get this back according to research I have read is high reps, low intensity, high volume squatting, so something like 20 rep squats would be perfect, try 6 sets and then finish with SLDL and thats your whole leg workout!
