After doing HIIT for a while, I returned to strength training yesterday. I was doing a chest press on a cable machine and the back of my neck was hurting afterwards.. Any tips on what I should do for treatment and prevention moving forward?

Tighten your back when doing chest exercises, it aligns your spine and keeps it straight and tense through the movement

I should probably ask a qualified professional lol but you all have given some great insight. Thank you!

Sounds like you were either:
- hiking your shoulders up and not keeping them down
- looking up. you should look down slightly to relax your neck.

You may have had slightly too much weight on there.

So for me I’ve ramped-up on running vs. classes since Apr 2020 because gyms closed. Now that they’ve reopened I haven’t rejoined because I changed my routine. I only use yoga to slowly increase flexibility. The rule is stop if you feel pain otherwise stretch further.
