Obvious: proper form for squats (for noobs) is hard!

So I started squatting again after about a year and half break.

I didn't have proper form before, and It didn't effect me until I started really increasing the weight on the bar and then one day, I had a boo boo (read: royally fucked up my back).

So I got scared and kept away after I got better.

JUST started again, and from square one.

Read the TIPS for proper form on Stronglifts.com as well as viewed the videos.

When I did them today, It seemed like there would always be one thing off on my form. After I adjust and fix that one thing I manage to mess another aspect of the form up. (First time, Knees bent in a lil too much, second time, I wasn't pushing with up with heels as much but more-so my back, etc.)

Ugh, this is gonna take a while, but gonna do it right this time before progressing with more weight!
