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...

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

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.

I used to, then I noticed it felt better to rest it on my traps. This was after I developed traps

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.
