Squats!!!

[StevenM23]

Ok so I hate using the pad to do squats cause i feel like a douche , but dudes I'm so lean that it feels
Like the bar digs into my neck when i do them without the pad, am I doing them wrong or should I just go through the pain??

Keep doing them and you will gain enough size that it won't matter any more. So IMO id just push through it bro. Good luck.

You could also go with a lower bar position...but yeah work through that shit.

push through it.... it hurts everyone at first, but you'll get used to it. i hate it becuase it doesn't let you feel the amount of weight that is really on your back... that, and if you use it you better be wearing matching lipstick.

Make sure the bar isn't on your neck. You should have your traps pretty much fully pinched back and flexed and it should be on them. Being lean shouldn't so much be an issue. If you have paper thin traps, then you might have a problem.
