Squat Knot

[lilboy2]

,,, sound off. how many have grown a knot on their upper back from squatting? my g.f hates it, tells me i'm starting to look like Quasimodo. also remains bruised for about a week if not longer after my squat day. g.f. wants me to use a "pad",,,, but i like the feel of the bar on my back.

that's fucked up man, you should see a doctor

You are probably setting the bar too high on your back.

Rest it on your traps, so it sits on muscle, not bone

ive never had a knot..i do have an almost permanent line across my traps where i carry the bar a little tan will clear it up

my girl just complains that my hands are rough when i touch her

never got those....probably not doing heavy enough x.x

do anyone know what that lil knot bone on arnie's back??? it looks cool

sounds like you need to rest the bar lower on your back. pinch your shoulder blades back when your under the bar and feel the bar up and down, your traps will make a sort of shelf that the bar will sit into. forget the pad, its for girls.
