I haven't stopped in here for a while, but that's great Mike! Glad to hear it.
Also, I've noticed a similar kind of thing with the straight leg abductions with clients. A lot of them have trouble keeping in proper alignment for this movement, so clamshells, tube/band sidesteps, deadlift walks, and others take the place of that movement now.
deadlift walks?
It's like a 1-leg RDL without weight and your hands out in a "T" position.
box squat progress, less than one month between vids! plus the nev vid the "box" is lower

That's great Mike! Looks to me like not only do you have more control, but your hip flexors have loosened up a lot. That is excellent progress.
I am going to be lifting 3 times a week (Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and I will be doing conditioning with a friend for about 1-2 hours on MWF (basically joggin, lunging step-ups on steps, jumping jacks, stationary bike, b-ball, etc.) I want to be on the b-ball team next year 
I am thinkinf of trying good-morning squats, I think it will be great for my glutes, like a half good-morning, half squat (with an arched back)

lol, please explain
almost every video I have seen on youtube of somone squatting (including p'lifters) lean forward when they squat.
I will squat as far down as possible and bring my chest down so that it makes contact with my knees (while keeping my back arched)
the last thing that YOU need is to do good mornings. You need basic strength! Focus on deadlifting and RDLs for your posterior chain. Keep working on your squats. You have poor potural control....good mornings would be asking for trouble IMO.
ok, I will not implement them, not worth the risk.
you can get the same benefit from RDLs. Restric your tempo on the eccentric and the isometric so that you can work on maintaing your alignment.
Also, don't be so quick to jump to advanced exercises like Good Mornings (even though I think they are more risk than reward anyway). What you are doing is helping you know. You said it yourself. Stick with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You are making great strides in both helping you posture, your balance/coordination and your knee. Keep at it!
what about reverse hyper extensions?
I doubt i will have the strength to even do one, but I will try to find something I can try them out on.
I am still not confident with my deadlifting form to even do them, I can't keep an arched back.
I just need some more exercises for the glutes other than a clamshell that I have the balance and strength do do.
What about like a lunging step-up up a staircase (skipping one step)

step ups are good. make sure you stay tight and prevent the pelvis from dipping to one side.
what about 45 degree hyperextensions (just don't hyperextend. Pause at the top when you are at a neutral posutre and hold)?
IN the RDL, is your back neutral? that is important. either a slight arch or neutral.
Reverse hypers are good if you can do them. Again, pause for a 3 count or so at the top of the movement, when you are at a neutral posture.
I train at home, no equip. to do a 45 deg hyperextension, but the reverse hypers I might be able to find a high table or something I can do them on.
The RDL I can keep my back arched, but there is a very short rom, I think it is tight hammies maybe.
But the deadlift since you start from the ground, I cannot keep neutral or arched.

I dunno, if you look at split squats or even bulgarian squats, you have the back leg to stabilize yourself and balance. Plus with split squats you have a larger base than a regular squat.
Thats the way i see it, anyway.
hold onto something when you split squat.
I was in the gym, and I found a way to do hypers on the cable seated row machine, yay or nay?
also, if you thinks its a good idea to do machine squats/leg press, what is the best foot positon for the glutes? high up, right?

how are you doing it off the seated row bench? I can't picture it.
I don't think the leg press would be terrible for you. I don't think it is the best. I usually hate the leg press, but it may help you just develop some strength. Do it with one leg. you might want to pair it up with something that transfers over functionally. Like, 1-legged leg press super set with a 1-leg RDL (no weight..just work on maintaing position and go only as far as you can without compensation).
I am seated at the end of the bench, and then I hold the cable, and just lean back while keeping my back arched (I use the cable as resistance)
It is not really a leg press, you lay in this bench, and the place were you push with your feet does not move, you move (kind of like a machine hack squat), so It is using my bodyweight, so I don???t have the strength to do it one-legged, I figured it would be good for leg and glute strength.
I wish me or funk or cowpimp could train you for like a week
I got a friend I been playing basketball with since the summer, and we never played 1 on 1 until yesterday, we played 4 games yesterday, he won everyone, because I wasn't giving enough effort until the last game, it was 7 to 1 (he had the lead) and then I really started trying, he still won the game buit final score was 12 to 13, it is great, we are so fucking competitive with each other, so we really bust are ass playing, I just gopt done playing another 4 games with him today, and I won everyone, you could really impress yourself if you give 100% in a 1 on 1 basketball game, we play like we are playing for money, I get so winded after like the first couple of plays, but then its like I don't feel tired, I don't know if I just don't realize it or what... basketball is fucking great, and I think if we play like this consitently, I will be on the basketball team next year, no problem
I started jogging 2 days ago, today was my second time, the first time I was by myself, jogged/ran for about 10 minutes, well today the same freind I played basketball told me he would go jogging with me, he is also alittle overweight, and had knee surgey (he has no cartilage in his knee now) in the summer, anyways I warmed up/stretched and we started running everything was fine and I was about at a half mile, and all of a sudden guess what happened guys... my knee gave out, my inner knee hurt like a mother fucker, I couldnt even walk without pain (had to walk all the way back), it still hurts right now, but at least I am sitting on my ass, this is fucking bullshit...
you knees seems to always be hurting and the fac that it gave out is not good. Have you gone to the Doctor?
is it swollen at all? check behind the knee too.
It just happened about 25 minutes ago, I am not going to go to the doctor, anyway I have had this same pain before, and it gets better daily, the bad thing is that if I try to run, it will just happen again.
It is not swolen, I feel it in the inside of the knee
maybe I used the wrong term when I said "gave out" I meant it just all of a sudden started hurting alot, it is not like it was hurting alittle and got worse, just all of a sudden... maybe "gave out" means something else...
