Neck sensation on farmer's walks

[TheShadowMan]

Was doing farmer's walks as usual(lower weight high distance), and encountered this strange throbbing in my neck when I was doing them at a faster speed(like powerwalking). To anyone who does these, have you run into a sort of pain on the side of your neck before and if so, did it become an issue or how did you prevent it from happening again? I've been doing this exercise a long time, but I haven't run into this issue. It did subside in about a minute or two after the setdown, but this experience had me somewhat concerned. Is it relative to speed?

Never have had the pain you're describing from doing farmer's walks. Most of the work I do is fairly light in relation to my deadlift 1RM (210 each hand focusing on speed).

Keep your shoulders neutral, don't let the handles pull you down.
