Took me 8 months to figure out why my squat was stalling and it was my ankle mobility the whole time

I kept adding weight to the bar but couldn't hit depth and after 8 months of blaming form, hip flexibility, and my shoes, I finally did a simple wall ankle test and realized I could barely bend my left ankle past 25 degrees, has anyone else had a random mobility issue that took forever to find?

Spent six months blaming my knees before realizing my right hip was just sleeping on the job.

I read that hip issues often masquerade as knee pain, which is wild.
