You're supposed to grip the weight with your hands, not your teeth!Originally Posted by Catrin
I guess the looking-up position would be hard on the neck vertebrae. Does that include squats & deadlifts?

I can do squats with a machine but have been forbidden to squat with a bar. This makes sense to me considering where the bar is situated. I squat 200 pounds with the machine and if nothing else it makes my neck feel better... I've been considering raising that weight, but for now will just increase the repetitions - this probably isn't the best time to raise the weight.
I've only done Romanian deadlifts, and there are other ways of getting the same effect. I am done with deadlifts. I do have a hand-grip problem that limits me more with deadlifts than other exercises, so I am fine with that.
