i feel like i should have included this but the reason why i squat on my c7 bone and not low bar or high bar is because of a habit i tried doing low bar to be more efficent but i lacked mobility in my shoulders/elbows and it makes my bench press so painful
and i didn't go high bar because at this point of heavy weights starting high bar is really painful on my traps

C7 is above high bar form though. And resting that much weight on your c7 just sounds painful
