The chronic pain of tight upper back and neck and mid back combined with desire to gain strength and muscle through lifting weights may just be creating a vicious cycle. Could you be not over exercising, but under aware of your posture, over amplifying poor postural habits by your lifting and making things worse. 

Recently, three individuals on the same day, made me aware that lifting heavier caused acute tension and resulted in headaches either immediately or later after the workout. We reviewed posture. Chronically, forward head hang was a common denominator, either as static posture or in movement or working. 

When you take something already imbalance and add weight to it, only one thing can happen, a further imbalance. At some point the body will cry uncle. 

My guest today will make this crystal clear for you and, for me. 

If this is you, the duration of our episode is not enough to resolve your problem. It’s enough to make you fully aware of why massages and shoulder rubs and Theraguns haven’t done the trick for you. There’s another free resource we talk about at the end of the podcast so you can get more help.
