Is it normal to have a stiff neck after a dumbbell bench press 3 reps session?
2 min read
Asked by: Jenny Jones
Normal, no, but not uncommon. The most likely explanation is overuse of the trapezius muscle, whose origin traverses the external occipital protuberance and spinous processes of cervical (neck) vertebrae. Its function, among other things, is to elevate the shoulder girdle or, alternatively, stop its depression.
