Help with squat related problems

[TheJubilantMale]

So I've been reading about Rippetoe's starting strength and was psyched to start out last tuesday. Signed up for an hour of coaching to have someone watch my form as I went through the different excercises for the first time.

I started out with the squat. All three squat racks were occupied, two by squatters and one by a biceps curling, pony-tailed guido, lol. So i grab a barbell, fairly light weigth and start squatting.

Problem: I CAN'T PERFORM A CORRECT SQUAT.

Part of the problem is probably with my balance. But the biggest issue seemed to be that my calfs and shins are too tight, i am not agile enough.

Also, he told me I should build up some strength before attemting deadlifts and powercleans.

Heres the program he gave me. The illustrations are scanned from the program he gave me, and the order is the way he recommended doing them. He made the program on a computer where he could easily regroup the different excersises, so I believe he didn't give me the generic "weight" program.



10-15 mins on the bike.



This is the one legged squat. 3 sets of 10 reps. (All excercises are 3 x 10)















Abs is a variety of excercises, 7sets x 15 reps

So what do you think of this program, and what can I do to be able to do real squats? Please help.

Oh and The coach said to do this 3 times a week and add in a day of cardio as well.
