DB Shoulder Press

How long did it put you out of action?

I was supposed to work today but no chance of that. Had the worst nights sleep ever, it was agony trying to move my head and get comfortable. Never done this before as I never really do shrugs, I mainly rely on deadlifts as they build up my traps nicely.

It'll be a day or two of being really careful with it and rubbish sleep then a further couple of days with a stiff neck and the constant fear of pulling it again!

Its the only recurring pull/sprain I ever get so I *always* do really light sets to warm up and only do smith machine shrugs.

Ok cheers mate. Gutted as I'm due to start my heavy 5 rep cycle on Monday and start deadlifting again. So annoying that I pulled the muscle with the very last rep of shrugs right at the end of the workout. Wasn't planning on doing them again for months :(

Suprised you didn't take the chance to have a dig at me being an old fogey after my recent spate of injuries :p ;)

Under normal circumstances I would but I know how much it hurts.......wouldn't kick a man when he's down, especially an old one ;) :D
