Anyway to do squats without hickey marks?
Alright - so I decided I was far past due for some good ole squats...I added em to my routine and just finished my second go around with em. I'm pretty much finish the set with 300lbs and doing 6 reps (nice good ole pain) - but now I'm seeing massive red hickey lines around my neck and shoulders from doing em! I've tried doing squats using a bar and also one of the 'free motion' machines (as it's easier to maintain good form with these machines).
Is this something I'm just going to have to get used to? Is it possibly something I'm doing wrong as far as my form or the amount of weight I'm using? It's really no big deal now, but I'm trying to build my legs up a lot more and am hitting twice a week - I can only imagine how the shoulders will look in a month or so!!
