Guys I strained my neck pretty bad after a shoulder workout Tuesday.
I didn't even know that I did until I woke up the next morning with the most painful, stiff neck.
No Gym the last 3 days and it hasn't gotten better. I've taken pain killers, done the icy hot patch, Tylenol, gotten a massage.
Woke up this morning still in pain. ******g sucks because I wasn't even lifting heavy, I dropped my weights in all workouts to do slow proper form and stretch/contract. I still somehow messed up probably on the overhead press.
Any tips on how to recover? Anyone done the same? I miss the gym man, but i can barely move it i aint gonna go and snap my neck.
I got a wedding to attend tomorrow and I'm afraid I'm about to show up walking like Frankenstein.
Sorry for whining guys, I've stayed out of here since it happen. DIdnt wanna bother anyone but I thought it'd be gone by now...
Um, only logical thing to do is see the doctor right???

I have in the past, but I still felt awkward. Thing is, I have hammertoes that began about a year ago, when I was 4 months into hitting the elliptical daily for an hour +. I walk funny, feel clumsy and can't walk in a straight stride for too long. It sounds worse than it actually is ( IMO ), but it hasn't gone away. I went to a podiatrist to get checked out when I was diagnosed, and invested in some expensive *** insoles with a raised arch and added padding.

He's been icing and taking painkillers.
So, neck pain that hasn't subsided in 3 days doesn't warrant a visit to a doctor for maybe an mri or xray? :x

I was finally able to successfully front squat Olympic style today. Feeling proud of myself, now time to add the poundage.

Bulking Powder? Muscle endurance? Wut?
You may just want to start incorporating cardio sessions into your week.

Keep forgetting to mention this.
Second week taking Trutein, picked up CPB, Cinnabun and ChocoBanana due to reviews and it being very low carb. I've opened up the first two... absolute best tasting powder i've had. I take it with water, and it is amazing, WOW
Ive had quite a few CPB's and had Myo's cinnabun, Trutein's trumps all of them. I'm satisfied

The only good form on front squats is with the clean grip. If your wrists, elbows, or shoulders don't accomodate it, you should fix the issue and use lifting straps in the mean time. The mixed grip isn't very stable and can be quite bad if something goes wrong. With the clean grip, you can simply dump the bar if anything happens.
The good thing about front squats is that you can't really mess up the form and actually do the movement. Unlike back squats, which can become pseudo-good morning type movements with bad form, front squats require proper form to be done(for the most part).

You answered your own question pretty much.
Focus on compound lifts, eat right (lean protein, good fats, complex carbs, lots of greens, nuts/seeds, etc.), and as stated above, add more cardio in. "Muscle endurance" will come as you train more consistently. If you want to increase stamina, add more cardio in as stated above.

GNC hates me. I come in there to buy what I want to buy, nothing more, nothing less. They're only a last resort anyways. They try and sell me something extra, I ask them is there any specific reason beyond profit margins that they always direct customers to their products? *crickets*
