No its like the skin hardened and molded to where the bar rest during my low bar squats
Im also not at my leanest so it could just be that it will go away as my BF goes down
If you're squatting low bar, the bar should not be touching your neck, it should be on the back of your traps/rear delts. If your bars have aggressive knurling, the knurling is basically like sandpaper scraping against your skin.
Used to kinda have the same issue (not a lump but a smooth patch) when I squatted high bar. Moved to low bar and the patch went away.

I just recently switched to low bar, I've always done high bar, and now I see wen I wear my fitted t shirts that I have the slight hump I'm talking bout, I'm hoping the low bar and going lower in BF will make it go away
Back on my boolshiet, gym nice and empty around this time so I banged out a workout yesterday.Today is spin which I’m gonna do 4-5 times a week, too bad everything is closed on Xmas but I should be out of town anyway.
When getting back on your square with dieting, do you all just cold turkey shift to meal prepping and a specific caloric goal?
I usually start off good then fall off like hell. I also have to keep myself occupied otherwise I start thinking of things that would be good to eat lmfao

Trying to keep consistent off the deload
After Christmas is going to be my true test.
Of course my main gym is closing early for christmas eve.
I normally can switch cold turkey but at this point its really hard for me to eat like crap for 3 + months. My biggest issue with meal prepping is the lack of variety if you're talking about really clean eating.
Also, drinking water for some reason help keep my sugar cravings in check for some reason.

that bench is the hard one for me to get..but also the year isn’t over yet...How close are you? You may not have it for 1rm but what is your 3rm it may be over the range your are shooting for.
Bench 335 (goal 315)
Squat 455 (goal 405)
Dead 485 (goal 500)
but I noticed I can actually do rep work that hits above the marks I was shooting for...But I’m stuck on my deadlift right now but that’s because I need to strengthen the accessory groups.
