make sure to also have proper head posture all the time, then the neck will look more impressive
>t.
get a hypernaked motorcycle and do highway pulls. thats all your neck needs. if you feel you need more training do it with an Motorcross helmet.
also makes you look cool instead of autistic
>20kg kettlebell for neck extentions 10-15
>20kg plate for neck curls 15-20
I usually do 3 sets and get into a deadlift position for the extentions at the end to just force some more time under tension.
i like to connect the harness to do a cable machine and train the sides
also, to anyone just getting into it: START OUT LIGHT. lighter than you think. you can always go heavier next time after you see how you feel
>START OUT LIGHT
Seconding this. I made the mistake of going too heavy (it was only like 15lbs on neck curls, but it was still too much for my untrained neck muscles) and I tweaked my neck. It was sore for a week. Do NOT repeat my mistake, bros. Even baby weights will feel good on an untrained neck.

My neck doesn't look that impressive even compared to some guys that haven't trained it, but who walk around with their head high by resting it back a little. Sometimes when I do that I think that it looks wide and when I look at myself from the side the back of the neck looks thick, but then I sometimes see it when I relax and I think to myself DYETYN? I don't really wanna go up to 30 kg but I think I have to. Anyway gonna use the 20kg until I get 50 reps per set.
I rarely do it. Just gotta fit it into the routine, mostly an aesthetics focus though several back/neck injuries are making it a necessity.
I do neck curl, neck extension, and lateral neck curls with 10lbs pl8.
I've gone from complete pencilneck to somewhat normal just by doing neck curls with 5kg. I like to do them to complete muscular failure, to the point that I have to drag my head up using by arms and merely resisting the eccentric. I do wrassling so obviously neck strength and size is insanely important but the neck is also the sweetest muscle in the body alongside the obliques so I gotta say it's for both.
very light weight, always
there's always at least one fricking moron recommending huge weights for some fricking reason, don't do that unless you like the idea of neck pain for the rest of your life
10 lbs max, and build up to it slowly.
also never do neck bridges
>went to an underground Death Metal festival on fridat night
>neck still hurts
routine
thats george fisher of cannibal corpse, he came out of the womb like that. But he does headbang a lot. I wouldn't recommend that as a sole exercise, just do neck curls.
>Get high
>Throw Aqua Teen Hunger Force on
>Put neck training helmet on
>Do neck curls in various directions (you can really use your imagination with positioning) until it hurts really bad
We're all gonna make it brahs
Left + right or forward+backward will train your entire neck.
you forgor rotation
You do 3 sets (at least) of around 12-15+. You aim for a higher rep range because holy frick if you overdo the weight you'll hurt your fricking neck, so ease on the weight and easy on the increments
You can just do neck curls
i though neck training was a gay ass meme until i learned formula 1 drivers actually do it. if you have a functional reason for it id say go for it (extreme/high impact sports). i was thinking of getting one for snowboarding season, apparently it can reduce the risk of concussions
i do amateur boxing and i am already moronic
i dont wanna end even moronicer
you might have to stop boxing then. but at least for snowboarding it reduces the risk because youre able to hold your head more stable if you go flying instead of catapulting brain first into the mountain.
>do you train your neck?
yes, once a week
>how much weight do you use when you train your neck?
picrel. Started a couple of months ago training once per week. From left to right all exercises matched with the columns in picrel I started at these weights and reps... 1x3 @7.5 lbs curls, 1x10 20 lbs extensions, 1x7 5 lbs lateral flexion, 6 reps 10 lbs neck rotations. Most recent logs are picrel.
>do you train it for aesthetics or do you do a combat sport?
I just want to train every muscle and I do train almost all of them.
Overall has made a massive difference in the stability of my head. I'm kinda fat and really unaesthetic, so I won't post pics. Noticable thickness difference in a really short time frame, but I don't look like a football player or some shit. Neck is very rigid and secure now. Started because I use my phone so much and I'm always looking with a vent neck to use a laptop too. It gave me constant neck pain and muscle strains that would take like a week to go away every time. Now it's all gone. I also train my Platysma by looking down, flexing it, and looking up to the sky, doing forced negatives. That has also made a big difference in Platysma strength and thickness. My Platysma is now strong enough to provide a minor level of assistance when turning my neck left and right. Probably adds maybe 5 lbs to turning force
All exercises done with a harness and hanging free weights from it.
why my neck looks like that
it's like my right scm is twice larger than my left scm
is it over for me
which part India you are from my friend
If you train your neck all the imbalances will work themselves out in a few weeks or months
I lay down and use the weight of my head for the front and sides of my neck and hold a bag of water bottles between my teeth to do the back by standing up and nodding up and down.
i'm too afraid of snapping my pencil neck with more weight than just my head, i just turn my head repeatedly
