Shout out TWainFit from TikTok for the opening stitched video.

That switch-up was smoother than MJ’s dance moves 😂

Only issue is when your upper back isn't as developed and the muscles aren't big enough to create that "shelf" 😅 so the bar still rolls forward on your vertebrae. Overall great advice for most people.

Gotta add shoulder shrugs into the lifting program 😂

[haleyhoudini]

I use the pad because ive got arthritis in my vertebrae :) it still sits on top of my muscles, form is still fine. But sometimes you gotta do whats roght for you!

[Martin-mqoi]

Hey there! Great advice. What worked for me was focusing on my form, controlling the weight and stop ego lifting and doing crazy intense drop sets past failure. It got better within a week.

It's the front squats version of this I need.

I was literally struggling with this exact thing today and this came up, very helpful thank you

[bentwilleager]

Good tips but you never explain why using the pad is bad. I found that as a beginner the pad helped me since I had little to no muscle and it put too much pressure on my spine but also my shoulders.

[petercalvin]

This is what I have been looking for. Thank you!

[startlingnoob]

So valid, I just tried squats and my shoulders and neck and back hurt, properly engaged my traps and held my shoulder blades tight and now I’m goated

[brettduce]

Nice to see you have the King of Grind demonstrating!

[BIGPUNEVER]

Yeah i had the same problem, my neck hurt for a few days after that... seeing that picture with that guys neck all swollen makes my neck hurt just looking at it. Even with proper form, I think I will still use the pad lol

I was getting ready for the helpful tips, and right before the countdown got to 0, I'M GAY!!! is being screamed over an MJ song.
Free core workout due to folding from laughter. Thank you.

This has happened to me the first time I did squats. Thank you for the information!

That bar tattoo reminded me why i like front squat more

[EC-olnz]

The bar to neck actually helped my neck mobility 👍🏿

[zka]

I use both. High bar for squats, low bar for good mornings.

[MrPink-rotu]

There's nothing wrong with using a pad. Particularly with beginners or individuals with less back muscle tissue to cushion the bar.

[chazgames]

Because I’m light this is a must for me when I’m lifting anything including or excess a plate 😂
