I've been struggling with neck tension and neck pain recently, and I recently realized that it is triggered by my kb swing workouts. I came across some articles about the bobble head syndrome a few months ago, and have been trying to fix it since then.
I think I have eliminated the worst parts of the bobble head motions, but the tension and pain seem to persist. It feels like I create a lot of tension in my neck during the swings, but I have still not been able to figure out how to stop doing it.
Has anyone experienced neck pain from swings? How did you overcome it?
Do you have any cues or exercises that can be helpful?
Should I focus on having a neutral neck? If so, how do you practice it?
Should I try to relax my neck, or should I tense it as a part of "the packing of the shoulders"?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
(note: I'm currently only doing 2-handed swings with 16 kg and 20 kg)
