Well, I've run into a problem. Discovered that I can in no way do overhead squats, and I'm not entirely sure what flexibility issue(s) are causing it. I felt my left ankle (left foot is the one that doesn't work and the tendons are partially frozen) giving me a lot of crap, but I have just as much upward ROM in that one as I do the other, so I'm not really sure. Another problem is that I can't get the weight far back enough. That's as far back as I can bend my shoulders. Everything else went pretty well. My squats still aren't entirely as deep as they should be, but they are definitely getting deeper, and are finally significantly below parallel. Considering what I've been through, I'd say they're coming along real nice. Mobility exercises are a godsend.

Back squats
Bench
DB rows

Videos were taken on my last set of each exercise (last workout doing the honeymoon period), I stopped when my form started to get shaky. I posted a video of my OH squat, uhh, attempts to see if anyone might see anything in them.
