oly squat question

[finalpress]

I've been wanting to try out some olympic squats but I had a simple question on the form.I know its unlike a powerlifting squat which you tend to push hips back and sit back so I was wondering if the oly squat is just breakin at knees first and going straight down.It might be a stupid question but I was just wondering before I tried em.

Take a look at the Training Vault. There's an excellent video on Gayle Hatch's site, and BiggT covers your question and other differences between Oly and power squats in one of the threads at the bottom.
