why does my neck hurt doing squats?

[Wewleo]

I’m trying to do squats at least every 2 or 3 days to really stress my CNS and make myself stronger
my legs have always been my weak spot and I was also like to build up my conditioning
what would you recommend I do about my neck hurting when I do them
should I use one of those pads for my neck? Or should I change up the way I am squatting? Any tips from those of you who have had similar issues?

try doing box squats that will take less pressure on your neck

bro stop being a pussy just push it

 

[JasonPriest]

I would recommend doing front squats hold the bar in front of you instead

 

[wootoom]

your neck probably hurts because you're putting too much pressure on it

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

lower the weight a little bit that should help

usually gyms have those padded devices you can put on there

yeah use the tampon on the bar that will relieve your neck

 

[Ulter]

it gets hard as a weight lifter because your traps are so big and you're holding the bar

 

[chesty]

hold the bar out front not from behind

 

[ROIDDERS]

make sure you're using one of those padded things

Bros why not switch to lunges and deadlifts instead
