Hey fam! I hope you find this video useful and it helps you to find a stronger squat! Would love to hear any feedback or any other questions/topics you want me to cover in my next RUclips! Comment Below! ab x
thank you so much amanda! im standing at 6'2 and just last week started barbell squatting. I thought i was putting it lower but i guess it was still resting near my neck bone because it's been hurting. Not many videos tell us to put our elbows and shoulders back to use it as a rack. Hearing "let it rest on your traps" is a little confusing because my traps are not that built so it's easy to mistaken them for my neck bone area.
Try to go a bit wider with the hands and also place your thumbs with the rest of your fingers (on top of the bar). As you get more flexible, this position will feel easier and you can slowly bring the hands closer and bar further down your back 👌🏼 I’ll aim to do a part 2 video about this ☺️
@@sandriais It may be a bit uncomfortable if you force yourself into a too narrow grip and low bar position too quickly. Start with a wider grip with the bar higher on your shoulder blades and this will become more comfortable with more practise. As you gain more flexibility in the shoulders you can work towards a narrower grip and lower bar position 👌🏼

I've had to drop weightlifting due tension headaches. I've never tried the narrow grip, but I'll sure give it a shot. Thanks!
As a very tall lady, I really really appreciate this.
I’m so happy I could help! As a tall person I always find squats hard 🥵 haha
How tall are u
Really helpful, thank you so much.
Thank you mrs Amanda that's what I'm looking for❤
I hurted my neck so bad yesterday 😂
So helpful, thank you!
You are so welcome 🙏🏼 Glad I could help!
Nice video. I'll share with the people I train
Great! 🙌🏼 I hope it can help 🙏🏼
Thank you, nadie me lo había dicho antes.
I tried it and it really reduce the stiffness around my thoracic vertebrae. I felt a click there 👌👌👌👍👍👍
Oh that’s great to hear! Definitely the best way to release pressure on the neck! 🙏🏼
Why aren't you hitting full depth? Bit sad to do a video on squats if you can't execute the movement yourself.
This hurts my wrists and shoulders as hell
It looks painful.
