doing squats and deadlifts with limited mobility...

After doing nothing but cardio for a month and a half, I have begun doing strength training. I found a good novice workout regime, and it seems to be working. My only problem is I have limited movement in my right knee. I cant bend it more than a 90 degree angle. I have been worried that the squats and deadlifts I am doing are doing more harm than good. When I do squats, I can feel it all over, but I dont want to hurt my back if I cant do it properly. basically, this is as far down as I can physically go.

Same with deadlifts, I have to bend way more at the waist to get the weight all the way down. I just dont want to damage my back. should I just keep going with what I am doing, or switch up the exercises I am doing to accomodate my mobility more?

eliminate the shit from your routine that is going to ruin your knee in the long run until it's either healed. or just get fat bro, so much easier.

my knee is already ruined. there is no healing to be done. it was tore up in an accident when I was a year and a half old. I havent been able to bend my right knee past a 90 degree angle is 36 years.
