Hello there,
I finally decided it was time to break out my barbell (instead of using dumbbells) for my leg routine today. I have two problems :
1) During the workout : When I had the barbell on my shoulders and was lightly gripping the shaft, my arms felt like they started to swell and then began to ache while I was squating. Because of this I kept having to adjust my grip wider and wider (so that my hands were further away from my head) but I can't imagine this is the right thing to do...(by the way, I did S&H legs today, kickboxing yesterday and S&H chest the day before).
2) 12 hours or so after the workout : When I tilt my head backwards, I feel a stiffness in my neck. I'm guessing this also has to do with holding the barbell funked up.
Can anyone give me some advice? I'd really appreciate it!
