Trap pain

[Mr. Bear]

I was doing BB Shrugs today and on each set when i got to 8 reps I started feeling this pinching in my right trap. by the time I hit twelve it was unbearable....any idea what cold be the cause of this?

Most likely you have a nerve being "pinched" by the muscle in your trap. This is very common, especially in the trap muscle. The muscle could be tight from training or tight from AAS usage. Some AAS make muscles tighter than others. Stretch out well and warm up slowly. Heat and massage will help loosen the muscle up so that it puts less pressure on the nerve. This is very common, but for some people may keep coming back especially while on cycle.

Thanks for the advice lazer. I'm gonna try this out asap.

if you feel a bad kind of pain during a set, it might be a good idea to stop the set also...
