Trap Strain

sweitz14 Posts: 45 Joined: 2003/03/28	2003/05/21, 10:09 AM I've pulled my left trap 3 times in the past 2 or 3 months. Twice on a Hammer Strength Lat Machine, which I have stopped using, and once just getting up off the bench after doing skull crushers. I don't know if this is an issue of poor form, or just my predisposition to getting this injury. I'm tired of having to take time off for healing. Also, I do stretch and warm up properly. Let me know what might be causing this and how to prevent it. Thanks
