Pain In Lower Neck Between Trapezoids From Shrugs?

November 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Pain

I have started trapezoid shrugs for my workout but now it hurts to look up. The lower part on the back of my neck right before shoulder blades start is where the pain is and its not the kind of muscle damage pain i normally get after workouts. Im Doing 3 sets of different weights with reps starting at 12. The weight is 27lbs, 30lbs then 32lbs. What am i doing wrong and how can i stop my neck from hurting like this?

    Your form is probably off, I would see a chiropracter to get adjusted as you probably pinched a nerve, then see a trainer about proper form. And a Trapezoid is a geometrical shape…a Trapezius is a muscle.
