Thinking about it, your program seems to be focused on overcoming isometrics rather than than the yielding type (e.g. holding the squat position). I'm still researching on this, but I believe that if you can't do this type of isos you can alternatively make do with a combination of max effort lifts (for maximum motor unit activation) and box squatting or any equivalents where you break the eccentric-concentric chain (for developing explosive, starting strength in the concentric phase).
