^^^^Agree with everyone. I've had these bad. Mine were blood pressure related like Sleazy said. I used breathing technigues along with a reduction in volume. BTW, based on my research they ARE more volume related than just intensity related so like Sleazy said, your "hardest" sets which doesn't necessarily mean just a really heavy set.

On chin-ups it's a little unusual since the blood pressure thing is caused by a sort of "pushing down". Another possibility I would suggest that could be causing this on chin-ups has to do with you neck. You said "could it be a neck sprain". Well it could be neck strain. If you are greatly tensing you neck and trap area this could cause the pain. Also on chins and pullups people tend to have a dominate side which will cause them to pull the neck toward that side while tensing the whole area. Next time pay attention and see if you are doing any on this and if so concentrate of relaxing these areas and keeping the head straight. This is just another possiblility to look for.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
