Does the barbell hurt your neck or upper back when you squat?

[@andrewbevard]

Thank you. Straight to the point, I like it.

[@lukebriggs3231]

Thanks Andrew!

[@joshg7231]

Thank you. I’m currently on my back with a ice pack. Because I can’t move. This is what I needed thank you. My spine hurts

[@lukebriggs3231]

Hope you're feeling better!

[@russulaltememi946]

Hi how are you doing now ? Have you healed from this pain ….is it ok to have that pain in the beginning of the process because I have some pain on my neck from the back

[@RyanYoung-br1iz]

Did you get used to it?​@@russulaltememi946

[@hecker4361]

How much did you left and you're okay?

[@yurrrr69420]

I always was hurting my upper back when squatting but this actually helps so much

[@andrexfpz]

Lmao fr

[@Thomas-os6xn]

Thank you so much, I've been having this issue for a while but now I can magically squat without a pillow again. Even with the same weights that i normally use.

[@rajeshwarsharma1716]

After seeing RIPs starting strength I realised my shoulders were not flexible enough and after working on my shoulder flexibility my squat technique improved greatly. RIP gives very detailed aspects of this in his videos.

[@renxob123]

To everyone whos a beginner watch this!!

[@lukebriggs3231]

Glad it's helpful!

I experienced it just a month ago. It was a hell of a pain. Literally morning to night of headache. I just needed a week's rest at the gym. Make sure you have a really good massage to stretch that vein on your back going to the neck. after 2 or 3 days I am slowly able to run at least 30mins for 3 straight days and just like that like nothing happened. Back on track baby! Lightweeight!

[@maggieweather3893]

Thanks I messed up today by either putting too much weight I thought I was ready for but wasn’t or basically putting on the bone in my neck and damn near passed out and was lightheaded for a while… currently have a headache because of it too!

[@divan_hyper]

for how long did it go? I have a headache now too, it always starts the day I start exercising, have it for a more than a week now...

[@fitzgeraldfilmsMN]

I haven't Doen a highball squat in 7 years, thanks for the tip. I do low bar usually and it was so much more comfortable than the bad form high bar squats I did in high school and college.

[@MiriamSmith-fr8zo]

Thank you

[@AdamH-er2uh]

Thank you, this video was really helpful. I've had back pain in the past from this and never knew why until now. Great video!

[@MatthewWelch-Taylor-pv8gu]

I needed this, I’ve only been able to do dumb bell squats up until now.

[@lukebriggs3231]

Glad it's helpful!

[@frankmartinez2987]

Yep, tried this. Still damaged my spinal cord in the process.

[@vulgorae]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@murman9088]

I wish they played this clip at every gym on an hourly basis

[@walterwhitecar8670]

Wow! This helped a lot! Thanks for making this!

[@kelgk2086]

Thank you sir!!! This has been the reason I never do barbel squats!! I tried today and the pain was unbearable.

[@marwanelabid8013]

thank you this was so helpful

[@unlucky-777]

What if you don't have any back muscle?

[@treywar25]

dumbells are awesome

[@frankmartinez2987]

Then, the internet makes fun of you (unfairly) because humans often have this desire to make themselves feel better by hurting others.

[@roar6047]

Thanks I'm dealing with some neck strain after squatting today and think I was putting it on the bone. I will start to practice this technique next time

[@abraxax7ify]

Thank you.

[@asiantacos5521]

THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

I do it exactly as you say, still I get a cyst like bump or skin abrasion on the bone at the top of my back.

[@mr.mikeygaming3723]

Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to start training legs but squatting just hurt my upper back. I’ll make sure to try this next time I’m at the gym

[@juanto303]

Thanks!

[@perpetuallybodean4522]

What if I'm having pain in my arms and shoulders? It almost feels like I can't reach and hold the bar properly when it's on my back, even on the Smith machine.

[@eemfunnyasf]

Needed this. 135 feels like a shit ton for no reason at all 😂

[@raphaeljatoba]

thank you.

[@articlemming66jojo3]

Thank you, did a barbell squat for the first time today and that bone at the top of my spine right there hurtsss😭 glad to know I was just holding it wrong lol, def don’t do that again

[@dkeditsyoutube]

Is it gone? Now

[@abdououameur6076]

Great advice...thank you

[@shifter1089]

Thanks bro. Simple shit, but I was really confused on how people never used a pad

[@boseidono]

ok thx

[@nuclearclown5374]

Because of this I used to hit more on front rack reverse lunge than back squat rip

[@dovydas4483]

How to relief the pain after your bone hurts? It will go away in couple of days I assume. Next time Imma tighten my traps way more and be tighter overall

[@mushroommann100]

did it go away?

[@Marcosss-7-years-ago]

0:47 “so that the bar can rest on your muscles, and not on the bar”😂

[@aleksapetrovic7454]

Ty bro

[@michaelalonzi8325]

Thank you

[@LunaBloom99]

My boyfriend was telling me to be a big girl and just squat without pads. I tried to prove him wrong, for the sake of my comfort, and then I found this video. Best neck squat-rest tutorial ever. 👌🏼

[@YoYoda12]

Damn

[@goosegang4046]

When i do it the bar just rests on my shoulders and rests on bone pretty much

[@115breno]

Arms don't go that far back, what to do

[@CRCfail]

Thanks

[@Roxon321]

My arms don't go that far back, sadge.

[@savannahjohnson633]

Ooh ok this helped a lot. My bones pop out hella far right below my neck so i keep gettin bruises from the bar.. Ig i was resting it too much

[@lukebriggs3231]

Glad it's helpful, and yes, I hope this makes everything feel better!

[@GorillaParis]

I Always have right neck, trap😮 and arm pain/tingle after barbell exercise.

[@arpitshivhare217]

Man I tried doing squats with a barbell for the first time and now my neck joints are having a pain 😖😭

[@alexdoll4258]

Turns out I don't have too much muscle in that area of the back. What back exercises do you guys recommend to develop muscle there? In back day the muscles that usually get sore are the lats. Also I am overweight (trying to lose fat while gaining muscle at the moment) so pullups aren't really possible for me...

[@misd8602]

If you are overweight u likely have enough mass there for the bar to rest on! Try positioning the bar differently a bit higher/lower.

[@steveballzack1409]

To build those back muscles I would recommend squats 😉

[@nathanleistner2719]

Rows, and the reverse peck deck machine are very good

[@hmksensei4708]

Shrugs to build your traps

[@funnymemer4490]

Little wide grip barbell rows to target upper back

[@krsma236]

it hurts me little bit but i dont mind it im okay

[@dannyv4283]

But I don’t have muscles 😢

[@red_roses1569]

the last bone of my spine hurts bruh

[@tjhealthnlifestyle]

What did you do? Did it go away? I’m experiencing the same right now

[@hecker4361]

Me too 😂😂​@@tjhealthnlifestyle

[@Op1umASH]

Nah cause its on my traps and they hurt like hell when I increase the weight

[@5a1zuu]

When i try to take the barbell down it starts forcing towards floor

[@postedyou4499]

But it hurts my shoulders it feels like something is about to pop

[@lukebriggs3231]

That doesn't sound like fun. You may want to get that checked out by a medical professional.

[@BadBoy-ip2vw]

But what to do if you don't have muscles.

[@shapetick4096]

Develop them

[@nathantorresstanevil6958]

Use a towel like I do

[@nathantorresstanevil6958]

I put my towel around the bar

[@wchensel]

What if I dont have any muscle yet?

[@PGproductionsHD]

Perform exercises to develop some before performing this.

[@mayhulk7514]

​@@PGproductionsHD kind of lame just to do some squats

[@PGproductionsHD]

@@mayhulk7514 What do you suggest

[@mayhulk7514]

@@PGproductionsHD Well work on traps but use the pad. People shouldn't be so worried on your exercise routine. I use the pad for my thin back and my legs will be sore the next day. It doesn't affect your routine. The only thing that the pad messes you up on is your reputation, not your reps. I actually can lift heavier with the pad on, because when I go heavy pad of if feels like it is ripping my traps

[@PGproductionsHD]

@@mayhulk7514 I used to be the same way back when I made this comment, I ignored the pain and with time got used to the bar, now 160kg feel like nothing.

[@robertkrajnak3959]

Guys I was squatting recently and after I fell small pain when i touch one of my spinal cord should I be worried ?

What did you do? Did it go away? I’m experiencing the same right now

I didnt have enough muscles there. The bar was resting on the bone. Hurts like hell rn 🥲

I've been placing it on my neck muscle and squatting from 10kgs now 65kgs didn't know I was doing it wrong the whole time . Just glad I sister break my neck bone. Gonna have to do this method . I don't even know if I have enough back muscle.
