good video that'll help you get your body "between" your legs, not over them.

not sure about form. I kept my legs straight and bent at my waist. made my lower back hurt a little

There is definitely knee bend. My legs go out a bit wider than shoulder-width, and I bend my back to horizontal. You need to make sure your lower back is straight or arched, never rounded. So you almost need to feel like your sticking your butt out.

i only did two sets because my right knee was hurting when i would go past parallel during warm ups and the work sets. Also my hips are still felling tight at bottom of the lift.

Without a doubt you should stop putting weight on the bar, and take some time off until you feel better. When you come back, start really slow with the weight. Practice bodyweight squats once you're feeling healthy again.

You will hurt yourself doing this. Look straight ahead at all times.
