Hey guys, I'm new here just signed up, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this problem..
I can squat with bodyweight, easily ass to grass. But if I take a bar onto my back, I can't even go 90 degrees.
If I try to sit down in the squat position and then take the bar on my back, It wont allow my arms to go far enough back, I can't even straighten out my arms as if I were to do a lateral delt raise. And please notice that I can do a bodyweight squat with perfect form.

There's your best advice based on your description without a video of what's going on.
There are a lot of people around the place who think they know what "perfect" technique looks like, who are also wrong. As a matter of fact, having "perfect" in the vocabulary you use to describe technique is usually a sign that you don't know what good technique looks like, or what deviations from it look like.SQ 172.5kg. BP 105kg. DL 200kg. OHP 62.5kg @ 67.3kg

Okay, then do something else. Let's say I don't have perfect form, that still doesn't explain how I can't do back squats, yet I can do bodyweight squats and front squats. As soon as I go to about 100-110 degrees during the back squat, I just can't go further down without falling backwards.

Well , post a video with your wooden stick back squat, many people here have been squatting more than average person, they will be able to tell you what's going wrong. And, change the mind set too if you can't squat that means you don't have a perfect form, even people like Dmitry Klokov are humble when it comes to their squats.
