When I'm doing my 5x5 squats, the bar rests on the back of my shoulders and goes across my upper spine/lower neck. It eventually starts getting tender and also hurts when I'm done my sets. It's not muscles that are hurting. I've been putting a towel on my neck but that doesn't seem to alleviate any of the pain.
Does this mean I'm doing something wrong, or is it normal? Is there some sort of padded shirt or something I can buy to help prevent this?
