Bar is hurting my neck when I squat

[Jclover]

I have an issue when I squat heavy weight in that the bar really digs into my neck and afterwards my neck will her and I'll have a hard time sleeping
is there any advice that you can give me on how to correct this from happening. I see you guys squatting with so much weight I can't imagine they have the same issue as me

There's padding you can buy. I close my shoulder blades and use my traps to hold the bar

 

[SteveSmi]

i wouldn't be caught dead with those bar pads

my suggestion is do front squats, that will actually help correct your form too

The bar should not be on your neck. You need to get it lower and onto your upper back.
