Today I was at the gym doing my shoulder routine, I started with my front and back military presses and then decided to move onto dumbell flys.
Everything was going fine, but I was having a conversation with my friend during the routine. It was a pretty interesting conversation to say the least. I'm not going to get into what it was about, but I'll say this: my friend mentioned something so insane, that without thinking I turned and looked at him while I was at the peak of my dumbell fly contraction. Basically, when I had both dumbells about level with my shoulders, I turned my neck to look at him and pulled something... and it really hurts.
Now I'm not bitching and moaning, I can definitely take the pain. And even though it's hard to look over my shoulder I can still drive, too. However, I don't want to miss a day or two at the gym this week, because I took a small break last week. Does anybody know some quick remedies on how to heal a pulled muscle in my neck, or is there absolutely nothing I can do? I assume I'm S.O.L but hey, maybe someone knows some crazy heating-pad technique that could prove useful.
At any rate, I doubt I'll be hitting the gym tomorrow, and that just pisses me off, especially with all the time I'll have on my hands...
