I did squats incorrectly... possible injuries?

[intogamer]

I had the bar right behind my neck. I feel like the neck bone is more compressed inwards. Fail?

strong fail. It should as far down as you can take it on your back if youre a newb.

I still dont understand why you would attempt one of the most complicated lifts without knowing proper form. It's an excellent way to injure the most delicate part of your body. Great job bro.

Get out of the gym and start reading: Starting Strength.

You should be fine, just don't do it again.

Do low-bar squats next time:

You don't have to do low-bar squats. You just have to find a more comfortable place on the traps instead of the neck.
