Quinten Lake’s Workout Breakdown

The toll that being an NFL player takes on a body cannot be underestimated. And for those wondering which body hurts the most after a game, Lake shares that it is usually his neck that pays the heaviest price.

“We just take so many hits to the head,” he tells M&F. “Especially on defense. You have to use all these neck muscles. So, I would say, the neck is probably the most sore and then, after that it would probably be knees. A lot of cutting, a lot of change of direction. And then sometimes you’ll be falling on your knees. Then, third most for me would have to be shoulders, similar with the neck. Obviously, you’re tackling with your shoulders, you’re taking on blocks, you’re hitting people. So, I would say those three are probably the most sore after every game.”
