/fit/ how do I prevent my shoulders from getting raped whilst I do SQUATZ. picture related.
Use padding for fuck's sake.
build shoulder muscle and traps
Some dudes wrap the bar with a towel.Seriously, it's not that big a deal. 700+ pound squatters have nothing between them and the bar but their t-shirts. You can handle it.
You can buy a bar pad for only a few bucks.
strangely enough i get this on calf raises rather than squats. 400 with no pads is good
squat low bar, fuck pads.
Put the bar low, on the muscles of your back shoulders. Below the bone at the top of your shoulder-blades.
>>48425Pinch your shoulder blades together so the muscle where the bar sits on will arch more. It's like a natural shoulder padding.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR A SHIRT FUCKTARD. NOT A WIFE BEATER.ALSO YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH WEIGHT OR HOLDING THE BAR WRONG IF YOU CAN'T KEEP THE BAR FROM CHAFING YOU.
>>48470>>ALSO YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH WEIGHThahha, you have got to be fucking kidding me.since when has the marks on your shoulder been indicative of the strength in your legs?
>>48429i have them ;_;
i was wearing a T-shirt, and i was using like 205.. its not too much weight.. it doesn't even hurt my shoulders it just leaves a shit load of lines
>>48475SINCE WHEN DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT MADE UP FUCKING WORD 'INDICATIVE'.ALSO WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR COUNTER ARGUMENT LACKING? HOW ABOUT SOME FUCKING SENSE FOR ONE.I SAY TOO MUCH WEIGHT BECAUSE HIS ARMS AREN'T ACCUSTOMED TO STABILIZING. GTFO.
>>48470its not chafing, its burst capillaries>>48449i get this from anything i do that puts alot of weight on my shoulders, calf raises included.
>>48479i'm not new man, i've been getting these fucking lines for a year and a half, they don't hurt or bother me but i'm just wondering if i can prevent it
>>48479you're a fucking idiot, and you don't know a goddamn thing. get the fuck out fool, and maybe spend some time in a fucking gym before you mouth off.also dictionary.com for the win you fucking monkey.
>>48480OH SHIT WELL JUST KEEP BUSTIN THEM CAPS AND MAYBE THEY'LL DO LIKE THE REST OF YOUR BODY AND GET USED TO IT KIND OF LIKE HOW YOUR FINGERS GETS CALLUSED.
>>48484>BAWWWWWYOU BE TROLLED
>>48485aren't you missing your tripcode rage?
you can by using a long sleeved shirt
>>48486sure, whatever makes you happy.
OP: over time your skin will toughen. I haven't squatted heavy in years and I still have a darkened patch of skin running across my upper back.
They shuoldn't get that bad. I find it's about finding the sweet spot on your back and there's no issue except for a bit of bruising after heavier weights, even then it's gone in day or two.
dont use paddings. build yer traps.
