This is an opportunity to work on your form. Here is a good description from JMU Strength.

Starting Position:

Grip the bar wide enough so when it is pressed out it is positioned ~8 inches above your head.
Keep your chest up and inflated, arch your back tightly, and position your feet in a squat stance.

Procedure:

Slowly descend by pushing your hips back and flexing at the hip and knee joints.
Go down until the back of your thighs (hamstrings) are parallel to the ground.
Drive out of the bottom position by extending your knees and hips.

Key Points:

This exercise should be done with a light-moderate weight.
Keep your heels in contact with the ground and your head up (don't look down) at all times.
Do not rush this exercise, use a broom stick or empty bar to start.

When you are finished practice handstands, forward rolls and Frog Stands.
