When squatting you need to pull your shoulders back and" up" as tight as you can this will create the place needed for proper bar placement.
Thanks.See how you feel when you squat next, you'll be right.
Just below the neckline of my singlet...
This! Forming a 'shelf' will help balance the bar and take a bit of the pressure off your neck.When squatting you need to pull your shoulders back and" up" as tight as you can this will create the place needed for proper bar placement.
Mate you are quite small/petite so you will feel the bar dig at you until your traps fill out a bit more. My wife had a similar problem when she started squats, I suggest you fold a small towel over the bar to add padding (don't wrap it around, it will be to big), or you could use a bar pad, just make sure its not to big as its better to have the bar as close to you as possible from what I understand. It won't take to long for you to develop the traps and get use to the feeling, but don't just put up with it, add a small amount of padding to help yourself along, then remove it when you develop a bit more muscle mass there.
good luck.
this^^ pulling the bar down will create stability and should help make the load feel lighter.The narrower grip the better, find a width that is comfortable, pull the bar down into your back, stand up straight (chest out) imagine a man standing at the beach when a girl walks by. Or boy.

just give yourself some time, you body is just adjusting to the weight.
yep, tightness in the upper back creates bar stability, stops the bar rolling up etc.The lats play a role when squatting I believe.
