neck
Neck pain mostly limits bar-on-back movements and anything that keeps the upper traps loaded. RepRoute records the injury — but it will not automatically adjust your plan for it, and this page isn't going to claim otherwise.
Back squats, behind-the-neck work and heavy carries are what an irritated neck usually objects to. Front squats with a cross-grip, neutral-handle pulldowns and chest-supported rows are the usual substitutions people make.
The honest limitation: RepRoute's exercise catalogue carries joint-safety data for 7 regions only — shoulder, elbow, hip, lower back, knee, ankle and wrist. Neck isn't one of them. Flagging it records the injury on your profile and changes nothing in your generated plan.
Tagging the catalogue for the neck by guesswork would be worse than the gap it fills — a wrong safety tag is a wrong exercise put in front of an injured person. Until that data exists and has been checked properly, we say so plainly.
The manual route works well here. Flag the neck so it's on file, then use Swap during your session on any movement that loads it — a bar on your back, a heavy carry. Swap hands you another exercise in the same pattern that fits your equipment, one tap at a time.
No automatic adaptation for this region
RepRoute records this injury, but its exercise catalogue only carries joint-safety data for 7 regions — shoulder, elbow, hip, lower back, knee, ankle and wrist. Flagging this one will not change your generated plan. Use Swap during a session to trade any movement that aggravates it, and review your plan yourself rather than assuming it was adjusted.
Correct — it's recorded on your profile, and that's it. The exercise safety data needed to auto-adapt for a neck doesn't exist in the catalogue yet.
Use Swap in the session on the movements that load your neck. It trades the exercise for another in the same pattern that your equipment supports — that's how you get from a back squat to something your neck tolerates.
Shoulder, elbow, hip, lower back, knee, ankle and wrist — those 7. Everything else is recorded, not acted on.
Free plan, no credit card. Your plan won't auto-adjust for this region — but Swap is one tap, in every session, and it's yours from day one.
