I forgot to say well done on your lifts. It looks like your dead and bench are better than mine and I've got another 15kg on you. Clearly eating isn't why I'm not lifting heavier

After reading the whole topic I wanted to quote this post because it is 100% correct, if the next morning after squatting you need a wheelchair to get to the bus stop because the DOMS are unbearable than what you are doing is correct.

as much as i enjoyed doing this program i have to stop, squat/bp/military press 3x week is putting too much stress on my joints, my knees/wrist/shoulders have started cracking, mainly my knees eventhough i have been taking BN's "joint complex" which has glucosamine/msm/chondroitin since i began this program

I started this program in early January and have made some good gains. At 77kg BW I have reached 100kg BP pretty easily and am well on my way to 180kg DL, however, I am really struggling on the squat. Markos suggests 140kg squat as the bench mark for beginners to work too, right now I can squat 110kg to just below parallel for 1 rep and feel that 140kg is very long way off, or even unachievable, while the other lifts are progressing fine. Is there any reason why my squat might be disproportionate? Any advice in improving this?

knee's feel abit tight when i've been sitting down for too long, i am sitting down most of the day.. shoulder has made cracking sounds when i've got out of bed afew times, left wrist cracks alot throughout the day, i do use wrist straps when doing push exercises. even while typing this my left wrist has cracked afew times lol
oh and left hip also cracks whilst walking when i get out of bed, cracks with each step but no pain. also cracks after i've been sitting down for awhile and get up start walking.

If it's not hurting it's probably not doing you any harm unless you're genetically unlucky and have a condition where your joint cartilage randomly degenerates
IMO sounds like you need to do more recovery work (stretching, self massage etc) to loosen your muscles up more
