Key things to GM's:
- On olympic squats you keep the bar as high as possible on your traps, it's the opposite for GM's. Go as low as you comfortably can.
- Keep your back arched, and push your ass back while bringing the bar down.
- Bend your knees, similiar to a 1/4 squat you see people do in the gym.
You'll find out rather quickly why doing heavy GM's will greatly increase your squatting numbers...

Thanks for the link and the tips. For some reason my computer wont open up the video, but that's just my computer being a bitch.
