I f*cking hate you.
I'm brining a camera to the gym and recording some kip ups to figure out where I'm going wrong.
Also, this is funny

The fact that it's a salad because it's got a few carrots and a bit of green stuff in there is pure gold.
This has a vegetable in it (go to 2.29). I am tempted to try it though.0 -

*Waves* lost my squat virginity over the last 2 weeks,
:o
Love em, can only manage about 40kg's so far, question, I'm using a Smith machine in my gym as its quite limited, when I'm squatting the bar goes across the top of my shoulder blades which is fine, but the bone in the middle of my blades just a bit higher is in direct contact with the bar and gets quite sore.
Any tips or advice?0 -

stop using the smith machine for a start...it's not good for squatting anything.
maybe use a towel/piece of cloth around your shoulders to cushion the bar.
also concentrate on keeping your shoulders back, chest out and head up.
if there is no squat rack in your gym there are lots of variations you could try with dumbells like goblet squats.0 -

1) as said, try to avoid the smith machine for squats - in the absence of a rack, goblet squats and split squats (aka bulgarian squats/rear foot elevated split squats) are a better option
2) your bar position is wrong - sounds like it's a little bit high. Try to play about with positions a little to find a more comfortable one. Failing that, a towel around the bar will have to do, tha being said it places the bar in a higher position and changes the dynamics of the lift somewhat. Not too much of a concern on the smith machine, but something to watch out for on normal squats.
In summary - goblet/split squats are preferable, fiddle about with where the bar rests on your back to find a more comfortable position, use a towel as a last resort
