Mantaray anyone???
I did my first workout of stage 1 last night (yeah!!) but I feel like the back of my neck is bruised from the bar. I have a really bony upper body so I guess I was aggravating the back of my neck and anywhoo so I found this device called a Mantaray and wondered if anyone has used it/heard of it?
heres the link: http://www.qfac.com/gear/mantaray.html
I figured maybe a towel would work but I can see myself now fighting with the dang towel to get it to stay. 
I just used a hand towel and put it on my back, not on the bar. That worked out well.
Also - you should have the bar on your trap muscles, lower than your neck... That may help you some!
Okay I will try that first. Thanks!
So how low should the bar be? I guess it was hitting the very top of my spine where a bone sticks out..... you would have though the trainer helping me out would have told me that!
Here is a good article and picture on where the bar should be! Hope it helps! Yeah, if you have a trainer, he/she should have known where it goes!
