Neck pain and recovery

This may be a little random and I may be in the minority, but I want to see if anyone else experiences this—I can always tell when it’s time to deload from my training when my neck starts to hurt and feels strained. My neck lymph nodes also start to flare up a little bit. A week of deload always fixes it!

I’ve never had that happen but if neck and needing a deload correlate for you then when the neck hurts you know what you need to do.

Yeah, tight sore neck and traps. Sometimes tingly fingers.

Sore throat.

Trouble sleeping.

Sudden loss of appetite.

When my dogs do normal, mildly irritating dog stuff and in makes me really, really angry.

All signs it’s time for a deload. Or maybe past time, and the deload should really come the week before that stuff happens.
