What are some good squats with weights?

Any links to video or web sites would be great.

I have done some googling and understand the importance of doing them properly.

Thanks for the help.

My goal is to improve my overall physical endurance, and to improve my upper body strength.

I have always had good strength with my leg muscles, comes from the paper route I had as a kid, I work construction, am 37, height is 5' 9" and weight is some where around 250lbs.

yes, I need to lose weight

Get "Starting Strength" (the book and the DVD) by Mark Rippetoe.

Stronglifts.com is another good resource.
