sore neck and traps

[powerhouse972]

My necks and traps are damn sore and i am not sure why, i can only guess they are from doing heavy squats and the bar putting a lot of stress on my neck and traps. Does anyone else have this problem?

I get this when I train shoulders sometimes. I find that I put stress on the neck and shoulders.

Use a pad on the barbell.
