Here is some good basic tips for your squat:

1) Keep your back locked in its natural arch position

2) Go as low as you can (but not so low that your back rounds)

3) Drive off your heels

4) Have your feet about shoulder width apart of slightly wider and pointed outwards slightly (you can play around with this part a little)

5) Look mostly straight ahead (not up or down)

6) Go light! Really light! You're going to want to put weight on the bar because "everyone else is" but resist the temptation. Take it really really slow.

7) Don't be surprised when you're sore for the next 5 days...it gets better the more you work out.

Thanks what I can think of for now. Good luck,
