Question 1

neck pain from lifting weights, could it be a strained muscle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be,: But it can also be from bulging or herniated discs or arthritis. You will need a physical exam to be sure where the pain is coming from. A general rule is if something hurts your neck, such as weight lifting, try avoiding the movements that are causing the pain. Try changing up the routine or taking it easy for a few weeks to see if it gets better. If it does not, see a physician. Hope that helps!

Question 2

how to stop neck pain after lifting weights and situps?

Accepted Answer

Take it easy: You can put a lot of strain on your neck with weightlifting and it can be a common cause of disc herniation. For weight lifting, try lowering weight, increasing reps and avoiding any exercises with increased flexion or extension of neck. For sit-ups, try doing crunches instead. The hands behind the head with situps can put a great deal of pressure on your neck and cause pain and injury.

Accepted Answer

Modify your : Technique as well as look to change your amount of weight and reps or look to use a bench to support your upper back , neck and head or even change from free weights to machines or vice versa.  It may be a good idea to due a light cardio warmup and stretching before and after while not overdoing it as well.  If issues persist, see your doctor for evaluation and recommendations.

Question 7

after my work out im having neck pain and can feel my blood flowing throu my brain and causes pain while i carry heavy weight what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Check blood pressure: Heavy upper body weight can increase systemic resistance leading to very high blood pressure. Hypertension is common in weight lifting competition. Half the weight with more reps is more effective for muscle tone and conditioning. Work several body areas during a session as lower body sets tend to reduce blood pressure. Alternate between upper body and lower body sets.
