Free health & fitness tip: Squat (step 1 of 7 from "Beginner Strength Program").

Bar on the upper back, not the neck. Brace like someone will poke your stomach. Sit between the hips, knees track over toes, stand all the way up. Depth: hip crease below the knee if your hips allow it today.

If your heels pop up, you don't have a 'more weight' problem, you have a setup problem. Lower the load.
