I uploaded a short video of myself doing just a bodyweight squat. I realize I have brutal form as I've only started squatting the past week and it gave me some back pain initially. I really want to master the perfect squat technique.

Thanks!

you don't even have any weight on your back and you aren't going parallel? not good. much deeper would be much better. if anybody else watches your vid, they will agree with me.

Squatting with a bar + weight is vastly different than squatting with just bw. Get a vid of that and see where you're at.

  Dont over arch like that at the top of the squat, thats going to be detrimental to your lower back with weight on your shoulders. And yes, form is going to be different with a loaded back squat than a body weight squat so you may want to re post next time you squat.
