    Default Constant neck problems - any recommended basic strengthening exercises?

    My left shoulder is busted again, and I知 too busy to deal with another surgery at this point in my life, so for now I知 squatting with a yoke bar which has allowed me to continue to squat heavy with no problems.

    ... until the last few months when I started having constant neck problems. I have something going on in one particular spot, but overall my neck is always sore somewhere.

    I assume it has to do with the heavy weights on the bar compressing shit in my traps and neck. ART has helped some, but it痴 still always there. Im already doing lots of chins, DLs etc so about my only idea is to try strengthening my neck specifically. Anyone see any noticeable difference with neck training? Best way to get started? One of those head band thingies or are they BS?

    Fuck I知 getting old.

    This is like someone who punches a wall looking for skin toughening exercises. Fix the shoulder

    That's just out of the question for awhile, so looking for anything I can do in the meantime.

    Strap assisted front squats? Might take some pressure off the traps at least.
