There shoud be very little bend in the back. This picture shows that he has bad hip mobility. Start very light get you exercise right. In the long run you will lift heavier and much better form.

I like your slow approach as I need the lift as much as the physical. However, I am a 36 yo male, 6'2", 257lbs. i had a discectomy 5 years ago between l5 and s1 in my back. are squats completely out? if so, and I am assume yes, what else can I do? all I have is dumbells and a bench. I also have a stationary bike. i get dissuaded easily because there is just so damn much information out there it seems like most people are guessing. so i am a fat arse and need to get in shape.

I just want to point out another common mistake that I recently found out I was making: Be sure to have your feet aligned correctly, my work out buddy pointed out that my left foot was a bit further back than my right one, causing me to "twist" on my way up. It didn't feel like I was but when I corrected myself I noticed a big improvement. Thanks for the videos Vic, they're really helpful! Hey!

Once you are used to bodyweight squats, hold a plate or dumbbells. Once that is easy start working towards single leg squats! I would avoid the Smith Machine at all costs!
