As more and more weight was added during squats I started to feel more and more pain in my neck and shoulders. Because of this pain I was less concerned with the correct technique and a good workout and more concerned with getting rid of it as quickly as possible.
Not only did I get red spots on my neck, but I also got lower back pain due to bad posture. A good foam pillow turned out to solve more than just neck and shoulder pain for me!
What I like about this particular cushion is that the velcro is not in the opening direction of the notch but goes over the roll itself by means of a flap. This ensures that the roll stays in place better and I could concentrate even more on the right way of training.
