One thing that can really help you get you bottom to parallel or slightly below is box squats. Since your butt touches the box with every rep - you know you are going as deep as planned. If you decide to do them though, there will be a slight decrease in the weight you can handle at first. Then when it goes back up, your squats will be stronger than ever.

Here are a few updated pictures of me. My arms and thighs have gotten a bit bigger and I notice a bit more definition in my abs. Tell me what you think.

I think I see darkness and a flash. Do over with a light on. Hang a blanket for a background. Get someone else to snap the pic for you. Pictures in the mirror never turn out good.
But the description sounds great...we'd love to see it.

Well.. today's workout was total crap. I totally exausted myself yesturday, so I shouldn't have lifted today, but oh well. I worked shoulders and triceps today; which I also did on Monday (a bit close I know).
BB Military Press: 115x6, 115x3, 110x6
Standaing Side Lateral DB Raises: 30x6, 25x6 (for the 30s, my form slipped for the last 3 reps, so I went down in weight)
DB Military Press: 40x6x2 (wow... this was bad)
Lying Tricep Extensions: 77x4, 77x3, 72x6 (I used a different type of bar this time. It made it so my wrists were totated to how you do hammer curls)
Cable Push-downs: 110x6x2 (I used a different attachment on this one as well. I normally use a rope-type thing, but this time I used a piece of metal bent into a "V" shape.
One Arm DB Overhead Extensions: R - 25x6 L - 25x4
Hanging Leg Raises: 2x15
By the way, last Saturday, I had an indoor soccer game for 45 minutes and I have one this Saturday as well. I'm going to take it easy the next 3 days and will resume lifting on Monday. Keep the comments coming please!

I'm very happy with how I'm coming with everything but my shoulders. They look better than ever, but because of my left shoulder mostly, I've been unable to up in weight in quite some time. I have very loose shoulders and wrists; that is, they like to pop out of place. It isn't painful, but it happens constantly.
Could someone please help me out with tightening up my shoulder joint (if that's even possible) and on kicking their asses so they'll get stronger. |

Do they actually dislocate or just make a popping sound?

Damn that would suck. Sorry, I don't know anything that will fix that - perhaps you should see an orthopedic physician about it. If they were just popping and making funny sounds I was going to suggest doing some "tiger moves", DVR, and stretches from pierini's journal. I was popping recently and he suggested them - they worked to solve the problem very quickly. Your problem sounds much more serious...you need to see a doc and get that stopped. Dislocatons eventually WILL lead to nerve, tendon, muscle tissue damage.

I'm taking the weight WAY down for squats to work solely on form. With heavier weight, I'm not even getting close to parallel, so it's back to light for now until I can work my way back up.
I'm also going lighter on leg press to work on a fuller range of motion.
Squats: 275x6 (still not getting close), 225x5, 225x6 (I'm very very close with 225, but I'm just not used to how it feels to be down that far. I should be there next workout)
Leg Press: 360x6, 320x6 (I still wasn't getting down to my chest far enough with 360, so I lowered it to 320 and it felt great)
Stiff Leg Deadlift: 225x6, 245x6 (I'm a whole lot more comfortable with this exercise)
45° Leg Press Calf Raises: 450x8x2
Seated Calf Raises: 100x6 (toasted from the leg press calf raises)
Cable Rope Crunches: 150x12, 150x10
Weighted Decline Crunches: 45x12
