Neck injury doing barbell rows

[Gymbob]

Ive just started bringing in barbell rows into my back routine (opposed to dumbell rows which i normally do)

The problem is i keep pulling muscles in my neck, nothing major its just annoying and i could do without it.

I have been pulling the weight to just below my chest and keeping my head down so the traps arnt worked instead, is this the correct form?

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

Thanks.

You probably know this already:

back straight as opposed to slightly rounded and upper body parallel or almost to the ground.

and knees slightly bent.

I have no problems with my head up.

Try bringing the bar lower than just below the chest. . . Im usually doing them at my stomach

Your head should always be looking up...this should take the stress off your neck a lot.

Thanks for the help fella's. I cant remember who told me to do them with my head down, probably the guy at the gym with the neck brace on

I'll try them has you said anyway and see how i go on.
