Seems like a tiny scarf im trying to balance on the back of my neck while i get into position under the bar

It would work if it was totally different in every way trying to incorporate more squats into my routine i found i was getting some neck pain even when using the soft foam type barbell pad at my gym

Once you do finally get the hang of it you are pretty much forced to squat in the correct form so that the bar doesnt roll which is a big plus in my opinion

I havent gone too heavy yet so i cant attest to it spreading out the weight across the shoulders but i do notice a decrease in bruising i take blood thinners and bruise easily around the area that the bar sits so im sure it does do as it says and displaces the weight at least a little
