Damn I need to get one of those , cause i know it's not my lack of traps , they stick half way up my neck haha, imma try some things people have said first and if it still hurts gonna have to just use a pad until i can do without ,
this...
You probably have the bar too high
Make sure to squeeze your shoulder blades together while arching your back. Get the bar right down onto the trap muscles, there should be at least some padding there. If the bar is on bone then it is in the wrong position and this is dangerous. Dont be afraid to apply pressure to the bar with your hands, almost like you're trying to bend the bar over your back.

Keep us updated bro. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Good stuff bro. A little pain is normal till you get used to it. Then the only pain will be from your legs and ass and that's what you want.

INSANE!!!! I have a back back and i Couldn't imagine how bad the younger guys back will be in 10 years.
Bad training, Motorcycle wrecks and getting old hurt my back
LOL.. So so right on the trainers.!
I do squats, but mix in more leg press's and lunges to prevent my back from going out.

As long as your balanced it should get better bro. Not heal, but reduce the pain to sporratic and way less frequent locks (if you get them).
I do tons of DL's for the erectors to stable the lower spine. Then I make sure to do heavy abs/obliques to counter balance the bigger and tigher erectors pulling back more.
Was having lockups every week or 2 before upping my DL count. Haven't had one in 5+ months now

That's because most personal trainers aren't bodybuilders. If you ever notice the people they train are mostly just old and fat that need to lose weight so they've got most of them doing hiit, well in my gym at least. I was watching one of the trainers show someone how to squat the other day and wanted to go over there and be like NA bro that's not how you do it....you do it like this. Lol

you are exactly right... most PT's are just salesman... atleast the ones in the franchise gyms around the country. worst thing you can do is give one your number
now the top tier PT's that train actors and pro athletes actually know their stuff.
