No idea on the chin up bar idea. I would also nix the shrugs until you get treatment. Sorry I know you didn't want to hear that but there it is. I think you should be ok with deads as long as you keep perfect form.

I am so glad I live in Canada! Here when you get in a wreak, regardless if you are out of the car or not, we immediately take control of c-spine and do a full assessment. Based on our findings, previous medical hx, and what the speeds were, angle of inpact and damage to,the vehicles and a bunch of other stuff, almost 100% of the time you get put on a board and collared. Just the idea that they would not do it automatically makes me sick. Even a little fender bender can result in fractures to the cervical region. Did they even make you sign a waiver to refuse treatment?
