You "fix" or set the bar, when you raise your sternum and put your elbows back. The hands should be neutral, with a thumbless grip and holding the bar down.
The back and the knees look good though, but I don't know enouzght...
I would rally recommend getting and reading the book.
good luck with your training!

hey
if you want to continue with squatting, you should get the ebook "starting strength" and read the technique about the squat and you should also let someone(maybe mark rippetoe himself in his forum) check your technique.
unfortunately, i don't know enough about the correct execution. But I DO know, that the weight should rest on your traps and you should only "fix" it with your hands. The hands shouldn't hold it up. They should hold it down and be in a neutral position, not flexed.

@Teghead Yes, stopping at 90 degrees or less is a really bad idea. It puts more stress on your knees and does not allow you to recruit your hamstrings or use much hip drive. So squatting at 90 degrees will most likely give you over developed quads. Full deep squats have tremendous benefits and are very important in general strength development. Teige I know you do a lot of research, so I'm wondering if you have ever come across Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe? Its an excellent resource.

Hey Teg, I presume that you are quite fond of squats. I'm just wondering if your familiar with Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe?
-
why not just buy a squat rack? haha, and a proper olympic bar with plates. or just go to a gym!
-
Ah cool man, i was just wondering if it was being done right after the squats or just part of a circuit like you said.

It happens when I'm going Close Grip pull ups, and go all the way up, there is a slight shift in the wrists, kinda outward. It is not painful, and I don't lose pulling strength. just wanted to ask because it was weird.
Teige I have a question, are the sprints being done after each set of Squats as part of a potentiation program or just being done as a side?

We were doing a cicuit type thing, set of squats, set of pullups, sprint, repeat.
That wasn't informed by any sports science or anything, I mean if you want to kow whether potentiation is worth doing or whether circuits or intervals are better, I don't have any advice other than to start at google, for sports science journals or something.

On you pull-ups do your wrists pop? right when I'm as high as I can pull they pop, anything to remedy that?

If you mean a sort of dislocating, structure change pop..
Otherwise I've never come across your kinda popping. Stronger wrists will stop the former, not the latter. You could use a local climbing centre if you have one, or you could do some wrist curls and extensions with a dumbell or something.
There's lots of gimmicky things for training grip strength too but they're mostly pretty rubbish.
If you put more of your palm over the bar and keep your wrist flexed (curled) it might not 'pop',

yes i kinda feel something shift in the wrist, i can't quite figure out what, kind of snaps?

It sounds like the same thing I've had sometimes, and a friend of mine gets it too.
Does your ulnar process (bump on the outside (lateral) side on the back of your wrist) move in any way? Does it feel like something on the lateral side of your wrist is extending or dislocating?
I can't find out what it is exactly online; some kind of cogenital dislocation maybe. So long as it dosn't hurt it might not matter, but you want to reduce the frequency of it happening, by strenthening your wrist.
