Help, making sure my back isnt fucked.

[SlavikHavik]

I was doing max effort seated good mornings today. The bar slid a little down my back while i was in the middle of the rep.
So when i stood up to rack the bar i had to bounce it up a little to get it on my shoulders.
When i was doing that my spotter lifted it up at the same time so it got a little height and came down on the vertebre just at the base of the neck.
There wasnt any immediate pain. And there really isnt any now, some times it feels like there might be some, but it could be imagined.
Any idea how i can check to make sure that i didnt screw things up.

wow! sorry, i'm not qualified. my best advice would be to lay off seated ME GM's. since its such a tricky thing to rerack it, I would avoid the max effort and use it for reps. Last thing you want to do is get stapled to the bench face first. hehehe

wow man!! that really sucks! is it the seventh vertibre? make sure you ice it, in case there is swelling. take some ibuprofen too. it will lessen chances of pressure causing more damage. if you have full range of motion and no pain, i would say you are good. close call though.

Just lay off it and see how it reacts. If it starts hurting and doesn't go away after a few days then I'd go see a good chiropractor.

I second that.
