Hi there,

I been wondering does anyone here suffer from neck pain ?

Like the chronic kinda pain sometimes mild sometimes real painful.

I have been having the pain the past year or two and suddenly these few weeks have been tough.

I do the gym and am relatively heavy with my weights.

I also take fat burner and allot of protein.

Anyone here going through the same thing ?

It is starting to hurt so bad I can't drive or sleep peacefully.

Just wonderin if anyone has pointers to make it go away...

Hey Bro David!!!! Taking a fat burner and protein isn't going to hurt your neck but your work out techniques will. I love doing behing the neck llat pull downs but when I lift heavy, I strain to pull the weight down and in turn, hurt my neck. Maybe you should do lighter weight until you figure out what is up with your neck.

Actually it can sis, I have a buddy who is off season now but is having huge protien build up in his joints.

He has since switched to egg ... no more whey.

But mine can't be because of teq's sis, I do take care but now it is like a huge probem starting to interfer with my life which scares me kinda...

Dang, how much protein is he taking lol! I have never heard of such a thing, thank goodness it has never happened to me. Ah, Bro David sweetie, I hope you feel better!

Hmmmm, I have never heard of protein causing joint problems?? How is that possible bro? If you have calcification build up in your joints that can cause a problem, but it's not from protein. I eat a huge amount of protein myself with no problems.

I would have to say it has gotta be something in your workout routine causing it. It might not even be a direct cause, like something you'd think of. One time I was benching real heavy, a couple days later my neck muscles were very sore. I didn't make the connection at first, but it was because I was tightening up so hard I actually strained my neck.

Is it in the muscle, or the bones?

Bro David,

Alter your routine. I too develop neck pain when I do certain exercises(IE; behind the neck shoulder press). So I altered my routine and only do front shoulder press. As well I found other avenues to work the rear delt. Like reverse flys. This helped to strengthen the muscles in that area as well.

Another thing I found years ago when I had back pain. Was that my concentrating on it was half the battle. It was a spiral. I would awake almost expecting to be stiff. Then of course I was. The mind is a powerful thing. It can almost paralyze you with fear. There is a Good Book by a Doctor Sarno. About Back Pain and related pains of the joint. He postulates alot of it has to do with how we percieve the pain.

Now I read this prior to being Saved years ago. Since he has another Book out. Some of it may strike you as New Age. It is.

Yet being Christian I know our words and even thoughts carry weight.

Today I still have trouble now and then. I simply pray and proclaim the Lord is my healing. Shifting the focus to Him. This takes my focus off of me and allows me to think on Christ. The more we concentrate on the pain? The more our focus will be on it.

I do not think the supplements have much to do with it.

Peace,

Dave

Started kinda in the muscles now it seriously feels like the bones.

I don't know if your familiar with L-Glutamine; The most abundant amino

acid found in muscle tissue, helping muscles to recover faster and to significantly reduce muscle wastage.

Well there is a rule ya can't take it with or around the time ya take creatine.

But because people like me use it all the time and do reps eventualy we start to get adverse affects to whey protien esp: High mixture type.

Maybe it is the reps I am doing with my rear delts and when I am on the Charlie doing my external obli's.

I just don't know for sure Big Steve.
