I always wrapped a towel around the bar, which felt awkward. I'd even considered stopping squats altogether, but I tried your suggestions and it worked great. Because I work out at home with no trainer, information like this is invaluable. Thank you so much.

tfw I'm so damn skinny that if I just use the bar alone, the bar grinds against my spine ;-;

[@Krakaet]

The only way to build up is to start at the bottom. Don't worry about it. The more you squat, the more that area will build up as your body adapts! There are also complementary exercises like the Overhead Press that will assist in building muscle in that area. A good example exercise routine for a day is 5 sets @ 5 reps of Squats, 5 sets @ 5 reps of Overhead Press, then 1 set of 5 reps of Deadlifts. That'll pretty much reach every muscle of your body.

[@tombullish3198]

Bro he's talking about his spine, not the shoulder girdle, OHP won't help him that much with protecting his neck/spine. He needs to build his upperback/traps, mostly traps, so a lot of shrugs, rows & face pulls basicly. And follow the tips in the video. Good luck.

[@Joe-Fowler]

Val priceless advice

[@SomethingCool51]

I'm pretty skinny and used to have this problem. Doing really heavy barbell shrugs once a week built up enough muscle in a couple sessions to not feel it anymore.

I had/still kinda do have this problem and it runs against so much that it causes a dark spot and then now I have a lump now and gone to chiropractor and doctor and nothing has helped

Holding it without the pad I feel comfortable with the lower weights but whenever I go over 100kg I still use it to make it feel better. Thanks for the tips will try it the next time!

[@chloeleisure8004]

I ALWAYS fall forward with the foam pad and I thought I was just terrible at Squats…this video helped in so many different ways….informative for sure, can’t wait to try it tomorrow

[@bkhighlights6855]

I have solid bar placement but it still hurts I definitely think the bar pad is good, resting 200 pounds on any part of your body with a pole for a combined 20 minutes, it should hurt

[@rottentomatoes5171]

It doesn't hurt if you actually know how to place it! Just like guy in the video was saying. Practice how to do a proper form

[@bkhighlights6855]

@@rottentomatoes5171 haha, I commented this almost two years ago haven’t used a Squat Pad in a year unless it’s for hip thrusts I’m pretty sure I was testing it on my neck thay long ago but I was also a lot scrawnier which could be why it hurt

[@andrewmeece2064]

This is awesome real nice. I try to place the bar lower on my back in the same general spot you do but the issue for me is control of the weight, getting centered and wrist and grip placement before the set. With any more than 195 it feels like the weight is going to slide off my back. For me to avoid rounding and shoulders forward I have much more tension on the arms and wrists. I’ll try tensing my back like you show and trying to engage the glutes and core more. Just trying to find the balance for me is tricky. I injured my lower back and have sciatic leg pain because of it. I was progressing with the intention of increasing my squat deadlift and bench for as long as possible. I’m getting treatment for my injury now. Super psyched to get back squatting. Thanks for the video

[@KoysorMiah]

Makes so much sense I've found using the pad I end trying not to fall forward and stopped doing squats because of this reason! Will give it a try by placing the bar on my mid back and tight against traps. My other problem is when I do squats and I do several sets, I can't increase weight as I start feeling dizzy but I know I can squat higher weights. I feel dizzy and nauseous but on the gravity leg press I'm fine I can overload it.

[@datmeme8967]

Not everyone wants to primarily activate their posterior chain. Some want to concentrate on quad development and not overemphasis on glutes, so high bar makes sense. This video is pretty incomplete. Bar pads aren't ruining people's squats. If they're placing the bar too high, just tell them to lower it. By the way, Arnold and Tom Platz did high bar and Platz used pads. Platz actually used a towel wrapped most of the time exactly as you ridiculed.

[@MindPumpTV]

We are speaking to the majority of average people

[@iancordero9431]

[@mysteretsym]

@@iancordero9431 high bar is perfectly fine. Its just going too high with high bar squats isnt feasible because it will screw up your form and also bruise your neck.

[@brittanyachor6650]

This video was an eye opener. I am 30 yrs old, been in and out of the gym for years, and about 5'5", 139 lbs... but squats and I have gone head to head. I have whip lash, scoliosis, slipped discs, extra vertebrae etc. So I have to be extra careful. I thought the reason anything over 135lbs hurt my neck is because I was female and my traps weren't big enough so the bar is sitting on my spine that sticks out on my lower neck and would be bruised for days. But y'all mentioned the shoulder flexibility or "rolled forward shoulders" and it all makes sense. I have pretty good posture but that has always been an issue I struggle to correct. Going to try this and see if squats and I don't get on better terms! Super excited!!! Thank you guys for finally making this issue make sense!

Have you tried a palm grip? Instead of the classic fingers around the bar, try fingers around along with the thumb around

[@jdiaz813]

The body is the master compensator

[@josephholman2401]

I'm really skinny so the bar either sits on my shoulder bones or on a vertebra. Last time I squatted anything heavier than 135 without a pad my shoulder bones were bruised and it hurt to touch them for 3 weeks. My coach told me that there just isn't enough muscle to hold the bar so it sits on my bone no matter what. I think the pad is ok to use seems how my squat has gone up 50 lbs since I've started using it

[@75silverfish]

Yeah, for my high bar hurt my neck, and gave me massive pressure headaches when i pushwd too hard. Low bar solved 90 percent for me. I feel like theres moee ways to isolate quads than others anyways

[@LifeandLiesSyra]

For this kind of issue then use the trap bar if you have access to it. You have a lift that is similar to squat but you develop your traps better.

[@IamLEGENDkb24]

too much left elbow pain so i gave up low bar squatting.. i've always did high bar squats anyways and the bar placement is high on my traps a real high bar.. but now i've found the perfect median lol.. i put the bar on my back at the lowest i can where it's still comfortable for me.. where i won't get elbow pain or need wrist wraps like when i did low bar.. and that placement is in the middle between my high bar and low bar..

[@stephengriffin1541]

Just my thoughts. I agree with all the mobility and positioning stuff you have run through and enjoy the video. I use a pad and have done for a long time. I understand all the centre of balance issues but personally find I can hit the same weight with or without pad and have had little to no injuries from squatting (fingers crossed🤣 ). It’s not a naturally occurring thing in day to day life to load a relatively thin bar with a good deal of weight across your upper back and regardless of muscle bulk around that area some people will feel more or less discomfort regardless of bar position (I believe your nerves that sense pain are just as sensitive on muscled areas as less muscled areas). Hence some people may well struggle concentrating on form due to concentrating on discomfort or pain from the bar pressure and this might ultimately hold back their progress adding resistance or put them off squatting all together. Are there any conclusive studies that show how much the bar pad displaces the bar and adjusts the centre of balance? When thinking about the pad thickness this also will reduce as the weight increases, due to compression and hence the centre of balance offset will also reduce. As I said these are just my thoughts. Regardless, I’m still enjoying your videos 🏋️‍♂️🙂👍💪

[@INSANEFAME]

They have no studies and I agree with your points.

[@ec3886]

I agree. As I was rear ended in an auto accident, had my c5-c6 fused, I have constant pain in the general area. I have to use the padding. Otherwise, I'm locked up in pain after squats. Not trying to miss leg days!

[@NoBSFitnessCoach]

​@InsaneFame there isn't a specific study that I have found that goes in to specifically the pros and cons of a neck pad, however, you'll find the study I have attached to this comment goes over the proper mechanics of a back squat and you'll find that no where does it say to use a neck pad, rather to teach proper form by "bending the bar" or placing the bar on the traps. Check it out 👍& happy lifting! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4262933/

[@xl_moby_lx]

If I have like no back muscle built back yet is a pad okay for the first couple of weeks until I build that up?

[@anthonyc4977]

I don’t necessarily have pain. My arms just fall asleep after. I always make sure to place the bar good too. When I started using the pad, this went away and I also do way more weight. Any suggestions?

Disregard what the video presenters say and do what works for you.

[@MrBigBoy4Life]

[@TheeGreasyGamer]

My arms also go numb. It’s a mobility issue in the shoulders. Practice getting into the position more often and just hold it like a stretch without unracking the bar, you can also do shoulder dislocation stretches with a resistance band

With your wrists at literally 90 degrees and very heavy weight right over your spine ill take the advice with a pinch of salt and keep to my own. A bar pad is fantastic to spread the load over more area and as for a changed centre of gravity youll find a weight plate or something an inch or two under your heals stops you bending so far forward and allows a deeper squat

Concerning your "clients", you're just robbing them if you think youre a good coach by taking the easy way out.
