good job 
Sometimes, when form is decreasing as the weight goes up, its a good thing to lower the weight, but to more reps of it so your theoretical one rep max remains the same.
Because of my shoulder injury, my 3rm and 1rm squat form was getting bad, as i bend over far to much, because couldnt quite lock the bar aswel.
as a result, i lowered and performed 5rm's only instead, same theoretical 1rm. my strenght is the same, but form is improving.
and squats are meant to be balls deep, i'm glad you get the immediate result when you do them the way they should

yup
And dont listen to the never improving idiots who claim going below parallell on squats is bad.
The kneejoint is at its strongest when you go down all the way, and all the torsion comes when you go from descent to ascent, thus making it best to do them deep.
you'll also get an improved ass of it, as a side-effect (for men)

Doing legs will actually improve upper body.
Some find it hard to believe, but it actually makes alot of sense.
To grow, you must create microtrauma, and allow it to recover 2 days per musclegroup.
On the other hand, one trains to trigger hormonal response.
So by doing legs, you are allowing your upper body to recover, but are triggering hormonal response wich will in turn, give enhanced results all over the body.
If you hold the bar correctly, you will also use the shoulders to both carry the weight, and apply pressure to the body, thus using them as a secondary muscle

I think dule mean by form, that he is doing the excercise in the correct way
i can be wrong tho
