It just so happens that I'm reading a great book right now and I just past through the squat part , here are some points in the book that I thought might help you. Maybe you've read it also or already know this...
Quote:
Keep your elbows down and try to force them under the bar. This will cause your hips to drive out first out of the bottome of the squat. It'll also keep your chest high and prevent you from squatting with your legs first instead of your back.
Before you take the bar out of the rack , fill your diaphragm with air , place the bar on your back , then confidently push it out of the rack with your back and legs. Don't "wimp" the bar out. I like to do this with a large breath, which I won't let out until I'm in my stance
Before the descent , take another breath and go. Keep this air in until you're about 2/3 of the way back up. Then you can let it out.
