Your nerves are gonna get fried.

You upper back should look like this:


Bar placed across the deltoids or shoulder joints.
Even if you have no upper back muscles, your shoulders/delts will support it because it is pull back away from the neck/spine.

Bar is supposed to be resting on your trapz. not spine.
then hands are used to press the bar towards your body so it wont drop down.

ya.. im using my hands to keep the bar on my back muscles.. or watever muscles there is so it won't drop down.. but my hands get tired nearing the last few reps

the hands are only pressing it towards your body, and the hands are practically just resting on the bar. it shouldnt get tired as it is not supporting the weight at all.

yea i know.. but i feel erm.. let say u lift a light bar with ur hand.. like shoulder press.. if u keep it there 2 mins ull get tired.. like not enuf blood flow.. same case in that position..

Please tell me you're not squatting for more than 25 reps.

hm.. i squat 15 times..

when i squat 5 times i don't have a problem (following 5x5) but someone told me that i had to do at least 8-12 for hypertrophy..

the former was heavier weights and apparently that program is for strength. i wanna gain weight, not only strength. But i'm not failing until 15 reps when i reduce the weights.. so yea i stop at 15.

i think i'll increase the weights the next visit so that i fail between 8-12

like i said, your hands are just resting on the bar. you're not even "lifting a light bar" at all. so it shouldnt get tired. however i cant comment too much since i cant see it for myself
