its a towel my traps are too big to comfortably support the bar  :P

Sorry, man. I deleted my post because I didn't want to be a jerk. You are a cool dude. By the way, I have huge traps and don't use a pad ;D.

That point at the bottom, where your hips come up before the bar is where I get into trouble and the reason that I have basically completely pussied out of squats. I always do something to hurt myself, even at homo weights.

I have been working with two coaches on my hip mobility. I am clearly APT, but I have poor motor patterns to overcome. 30 years of squatting wrong.  :(

It always amazes me how spoiled we are in the USA with our gyms.  Remember watching the great Doz's training video and amazed at how small his gym was and the shit hours that they were open.  Here we have Golds, Powerhouse, World, that are the size of a warehouse and open 24/7.  Ro looking swole maybe the gym looks small because he's so big.

I have pipe insulation on my cambered squat bar.  Couldn't care less if I'm not "hardcore"

Comfort is key

i used to break my head about proper squat form

then i realized, there is only one way possible


down and back up

Working with the Westside guys, they are all about squatting to a box. The "sit back" motor patterns certainly help, but I am a tall, lanky guy with a weak low back from constant injury. Baby steps. Meanwhile, I like split-squats and lunges (no homo).

That manta ray blue plastic thing was great too.  have not seen one of them in a while.  That was the most comfortable way for me to squat because i used to get the biggest bruise across my traps every week with just the bar.

I done this almost exclusively for over a year.  Rarely have any back issues.

I only got to try that a few times.  I was definitely comfortable, but I have a long torso and tended to need to keep the bar a little lower on my back so I didn't like the overall feel.

I just wish that I could look forward to squats with anything other than dread.

It works, but it takes the quads pretty much out of the motion so it ends up being all hips & hamstrings.  Good for squatting heavy weights, terrible for aesthetics.

I'd stick to split squats if you're tall and have a history of back problems
