Starting out with squats is important to get your form down right early on. Oddly enough people might agree with me here, but starting out with just the bar or a really light weight for me doesn't work well. It throws my balance off and I can't do the proper form with a bar on my shoulders and no weight on it. It's not until I feel myself working that my form really comes true. If your unsure on form watch some youtube vids but be selective who you watch. Some important things to remember are a) keep your back straight b) try to keep your elbows down throughout the squat c) feet position should feel comfortable and allow you a full range of motion without having to work on balance to much d) keep your head up and look up when squatting (it aligns your spine and gives you more power)
That's the basics right there the most important thing is to just get there and don't overdo it to begin with.
Berz out.
