Shoulder pain during squats is more common than you think.
The problem isn’t the squat.
It’s how you hold the bar.
When your grip forces your shoulders into a tight position:
-
Stress builds up
-
Mobility decreases
-
Pain increases
The solution is to reduce strain while maintaining control.
Adjust your grip or use support tools to keep your shoulders in a safer position.
Pain-free squats are possible.
