do you use one of those foam pads that go around the bar to cushion it or are you suppossed to suck it up and use just the bar. My old gym I used to go to had those foam pads to put around the bars and now the gym I go to at school doesnt have any. It hurts when the bar is resting against my lower neck/back and I've been resorting to doing front squats as of late. Maybe I'll just go buy one of those foam pads and bring it with me when I workout lol.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
When you guys do squats...

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Haha back in high school when I started squatting I would always use the stingray thingy on the bar and switched to the pad. Now I just use the bar. It took me about 3 years b4 I stopped using the foam pad.

you're not supposed to use a foam pad. check your placement
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I used to, then I noticed it felt better to rest it on my traps. This was after I developed traps
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Not exactly, If you were competing in a powerlifting event You would position the bar low and have a wide stance. Excellent for moving large numbers with the least range of motion but not as efficient for muscle growth.MrS said:
The higher you place the bar (Higher meaning on your traps) with a closer stance the more stress you place on the muscles of your legs and lower back. Even your upper back gets a MAJOR workout from squats if you maintain a flexed position.
