Will a neck brace help prevent neck strain when benching heavy weights?

Question

It appears that in my old age, when benching heavy weights( ex my body weight), I always end up straining my neck. How can I prevent this strain. I was thinking about buying a neck brace. Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

You need magnesium and calcium for muscle strain . If you lift with a neck brace you could cause yourself to pass out.
