If your getting neck pain from squatting then your placing the bar wrong

It should be on the top of your back not neck

I've seen that in the gym, thought it was for the ladies

I used to get a sore spine where the bar dug in but then my traps grew. Neck pain is the least of my worries when squatting tbh.
