The bar shouldn't actually rest on his neck though. It should rest between the traps and rotator cuff, like right behind that bone at the top of your shoulder.
So the next day, you will see red marks on like the back of your traps. He should not have any red marks on his neck.
Gotcha. I just wanted to make sure he didn't think the bar should rest on his neck, since he's new to squatting and all.
