How do you position your neck during the squat? I.e. do you try to look at the ceiling, or do you gaze at the floor? I ask because my football coach gave me the "look at the ceiling" advice back in the 80's - which was a standard movement cue back then, designed to help maintain lumber extension - and so I suffered neck pain after squatting for years.
The more modern advice to maintain a neutral spine and let one's gaze rest somewhere below horizontal has made squatting a pain-free experience for me.
