Barbell pain Anonymous 2017-01-09 08:52:18 Post No. 39958701 [Report]

SUP fit
I've been doing StrongLifts for a month now, and it's going well apart from one thing, and that's positioning the barbell on my back comfortably during squats
Seriously every time I go i try to position it on my back but it ends up digging in so much that by the end of the 1st rep I physically can't lift through the pain and I give up and use the whimp pad
I'm sure I'm not a biological anomaly and that it is just me being a retard but how do you do it? Do I just have to lower the weight and force myself through the pain?
Seriously help me please

Is the bar on your shoulders or on your traps? If you have no trap development, consider adding shrugs so you can build a base to hold the bar. I used to get pain when I started, but that's what fixed it for me.

the closer you can get your hands to your neck neck the better. This will make your traps turn into a bit of a shelf that will provide some cushion for the bar. If you've got shiitty traps, train them. If you have shitty shoulder mobility check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkkXeL-WP2I&t=51s

I don't want to though because it looks less manly, and more importantly it tends to roll forward making my spine curve forwards
