A member asked:
I'm feeling pain on the neck and shoulders when doing barbell squats. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Barbell Squats: You should not feel pain in the neck or shoulders if the barbell is properly positioned over the trapezius muscles. You can also try a pad over the barbell for additional comfort. If you still have pain then see a sports medicine physician or orthopedic surgeon.
