Pain in my neck...

[canadianhitman]

...from doing shrugs yesterday. It's funny, usually I just do a few warmup sets and get right into it...and I'm fine. Yesterday I took the time to thoroughly stretch my neck and my traps, and my reward for doing things right is to be in pain today. It's teh suck.

Fuck stretching...I'm done with it.

LOL - perhaps it could be that you are depleted of electrolytes etc?

never stretch your neck. my chiropractor always says this to me. stretch everything else but the neck because if you over/under do 1 side, the other side compensates and you get a stiff neck.

i agree with timtim, perhaps you extended the stretch too far or for too long and now youre experiencing soreness in those neck muscles. hopefully itll go away and its not something pulled or tweaked in there. (i.e. hopefully just DOMS)

I'll find out just how bad it is when I go in to do my biceps workout at 4pm. Hurtin' or not, I'm going to do my damn workout.

watch it. youve obviously enflamed something. alittle tweak could lock you up. dont stretch it or even try to loosen it up. let it warm up on its own.

Yeah...that's what I'm thinking...I know not to try and force a muscle to loosen up. Last thing I want is for it to get so bad that I can't even turn my head. The last time that happened, I had to endure a rather painful active release session.

Well, once I was all warmed up my neck got much looser...like 80% of normal. Didn't bother me during my workout at all.
