Question on dips

[Dvst8or]

Whenever I finish a set of dips I get this weird strain/soreness at the base of my neck, right above my collar bone.

It doesn't last. Its just the few seconds after I am done. Anyone else have this happen to them? Am I maybe doing something wrong?

I think I know what you're talking about, I get it too. I think it's because I keep my chin to my chest (like you're supposed to) and I guess the neck muscles are clenched involuntarily during the set, so when you're done they feel funny as you describe. I wouldn't worry about it unless someone else thinks this is a bad thing?

A lot of stress i splaced on the collar bone and general shoulder area whilst doing weighted dips, not abnormal, unless unbearable which would indicate an injury!
