Neck pain

[theweakgeteaten]

My chiro got me working my neck specifically. I use a head harness that I can hang weights on. I stay light and work the back more then the front because that is the way I am imbalanced. Many lifters have the same issues.

No matter you first need to get past the immediate problem.

I have known many people that get a lot from training neck directly. Even help other lifts go up!

Whatever the problem is, you're just going to have to see a doctor anyway. Here's a couple of common neck killers, though: stop turning your head to stare at yourself in the mirror (if you do that), if you are tall, stop pushing your head forward (rule out 'forward head posture'), keep your head in a neutral position while lifting (don't look up, don't look down). If you hear a tiny pop when the injury happens, then one of the tiny muscles in your neck may have gone weak. Flexibility training for your neck would be the best help, there.
