try to go for 'proper' massage.. it cud be due to ur nerves on the back of ur neck were too 'tight'( according to the masseuse).... i had encountered the same problem last time ... what i did was i went for massage n started doing stretching before exercise( i did the traps stretching), n everything went well... or just take a week off to stabilize ur nervous system... basically u need to try an error which one will overcome ur problem.... i dun think theres an exact answer for any questions about bodybuilding coz our body is diff.... its all about trying an error which one works best for u...

I think with your deadlifts you need to be very careful of how you lift.
Many people try to push too hard on higher weights and thus losing their form.

Next time you deadlift make sure your not using any of your upper body strength. It is difficult to realize but many people do this to help buffer the weight. This causes your neck muscles and traps to contract while you lift and it might be the cause to your headaches.

when you deadlift do you feel your nape area tensing too much. then you might have to fix that part as it will strain you upper body and you will feel dizziness and headaches.

I do feel a bit of a sore neck (and tight as well), but I am putting the blame on my pillow. Switching pillows as we speak, hopefully it will solve the sore neck problem. Else I may have to inquire around for massage. Totally agree that there are no exact answers due to the difference in body condition (or body as a whole). But I did a sleep-athon and it sort of cures the headache. I did a 50% bodyweight deadlift yesterday, and I am feeling alright today.

When I deadlift, I don't use my arms to drag the barbell up. I just grip the barbell (mixed grip, usually left under, right over) and... use my legs and lower back (actually more lower back, than legs) to get up. My lower back gets sore before anywhere else. I gather that my lower back is weakest.

I sometimes too get a headache. A few times get a migraine. And I realize this is because I'm using my neck muscle when lifting (i know sound weird but hope u get the point). There's a time when I start to lift, I suddenly get a migraine and my neck hurt for about two weeks. What you can do is, try go to old traditional massage or try cupping.

Oh ya.When I said that I had a migraine, the guy eho do the cupping check my body.He said the headache is because I lift something heavy but not in the correct form. After the cupping, body feel so light and no more problem when lifting.But I still do cupping once in every 3 month.

how many weeks , can you please more specific?

i m having this problem, the headache come randomly , and especially if i tilt my head forward (look at the ground). Its been a week though.

hello, before you go for a massage/cupping, do the headache come randomly? or just during your workout? Its been a week for me, yet the headache comes randomly or when i tilt my head forward for quite sometime. and took how long for you to recover?
