[@moose9906]

FYI Jeff, In high school I was a CIF (california) championship wrestler and the standard in that day was front and back neck bridges to build a strong neck. It will build a strong neck but you will pay the price later in life. Neck bridges compress your vertebra under load while you are moving through a full range of motion, which is something you don't want to do. Neck bridges will damage your neck vertebra. The other exercises you showed are much safer because the muscles are under load, not your vertebra . I wish we knew about them back in the day.

Best vid I've seen for neck training, well done! I began training my neck back in the 80s when I started working as a bouncer and figured a neck like Tyson or Holyfield not only looked mighty impressive, it would act like a shock absorber! A friend showed me a simple exercise that I've done ever since which works very well with no injuries which is your "basic neck curl" on this vid. At one point I was using 2 x 20 kg discs - no BS - for 10 reps on this movement, and my neck was 22"! I still use a 20 kg disc for high reps today. For the back of the neck I would simply stand, and using a rolled up towel between both hands as resistance, just lower my chin to my chest and then push back slowly, increasing resistance on every set. If you have strong triceps you can make this movement as effective as any machine. For the sides of my neck I found heavy shrugs pretty much got that covered. In four decades (fuck!) of neck training, I've never once sustained an injury - touch wood!

[@jaybeebee9288]

Same, training since mid 80's :) I'll go you one better...I think the neck muscles are synergists with some neighbouring bodypart, which we train the hell out of, thereby causing an imbalance that you unknowingly corrected in yourself. Usually this imbalance isn't a problem BUT, a sudden car accident could expose that issue. I have to wonder how many neck injuries outside the gym could have been prevented or hugely mitigated by enanced neck musculature...

Just a warning to anyone about to take neck training seriously. *BE CAREFUL* I started neck training about 2 years ago and was loving the results. As someone who naturally has a narrow frame meaning my head and jawline are small, my neck being bigger really increased the way I looked from the front and gave a more masculine look, but, I ended up taking it too far, focusing on how much I can neck curl instead of how I am neck curling. The damage I ended up doing to my neck caused countless problems to my nerves and a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia, which is often referred to as the most painful condition in the world. I'm not trying to put anyone off neck training because it's very beneficial, and if I could go back I'd 100% do it again, but with much more caution. Stay some my dudes

[@KM-je6bf]

Thanks for the info. People need to pay attention to potential injuries when doing any lifts that can potentially injure their spine. I speak from experience as I went from a 1100+ powerlifting score as a little guy to not even being able to do 30 bodyweight squats due to retrolisthesis and severe nerve damage that caused muscle atrophy in my left leg. Can't even run anymore because of it.

Hey, going to start neck training for the first time. How long do you reckon I should stick with the warmups before going ahead with the actual routine?

[@lecobra418]

@@shariqusoof5649 I think you shouldn't go too crazy right off the start, listen to yourself, neck is a pretty sensitive area and you shouldn't rush anything because it's really easy to hurt yourself. So, I think you should stick to it as long as you feel you're improving and when you feel you doesn't improve anymore, when you feel it just not enough then add another exercice. Be careful with plates, I once hurt my neck doing an exercise with a 10kg plate and a head harness, nothing serious but it could've been serious so be really progressive about those muscles in particular.

1:30 This is especially apparent with race drivers, and especially Formula One Drivers. Because the cars have so much downforce they can go through turns really quickly, making for up to 5Gs trying to push the drivers head off his neck in turns or when braking, which is why these drivers do a lot of neck training. At the same time drivers want to be as light as possible, because every kilo you don't have to carry makes the race car a little bit faster. This leads to drivers being relatively skinny with huge necks at the same time. You can't unsee it once you know it. :D

From a physical therapist's perspective, especially of you are strengthening your neck for pain, I'd suggest adding in deep cervical flexion strengthening in addition to global cervical flexion (which focuses move on superficial muscles.) Focus the movement on tucking the chin and nodding the head move than taking the head forwards. These muscles are a akin to the rotator cuff of the shoulder by providing stability to the neck.

[@poika22]

I've been doing the weighted curls and extension for years. Great exercise. I find it useful to just lightly hold the plate in place with my fingertips. That way I couldn't cheat even on accident.

Just started doing this. The first week, I was sore but could start feeling and seeing some results pretty quickly

[@dfryers3422]

Jeff, hope you read this: what would be the strength ratio to aim for? For instance I don't think lateral neck flexion would be trained ideally if one were to aim to use the same weight / rep scheme as for front flexion. would the front and back of neck be at the same strength level? say front flexion at 35lb x 25reps, then do same for rear flexion (extension) ? lateral would be less strong (when 'balanced' if that makes sense).

People are here because they want big necks, it doesn’t have to be about aesthetic. Personally, I came here because in martial arts if you have a stronger neck you will be less likely to get a concussion from a powerful punch.

That neck trainer is interesting, but I want to state that those "neck bridges" are understated. I'm glad they were mentioned though. In wrestling, we did much more than extension based bridges. Bridging is omnidirectional in training application and is super accessible to everyone.

[@Crappuccino12]

I wrestled in high school and my neck was so much bigger than it is now due to all of the direct neck work we did. It’s crazy how easy it is to forget to work it if you don’t have a reason to. (Neck training is super important in wrestling because of tie ups and constant attacks)

Great video Jeff, I prefer the harness and plates approach to neck training. I'm really concerned about the safety of bridges. Neck & spinal injuries are a dime a dozen in the wrestling and MMA worlds. Curious if there's any research on the long term safety of bridging & if there's any comparative studies on the effectiveness of bridging vs non bridging programmes.
