@@AlexLeonidas tnx bro keep it up great channel!

[@noyou6257]

Ana Matulic yea i honestly find it to be the best for a few reasons. To set up, just tie the band/bands around a pole and put some form of support between you and the pole (i use a table). this way you can stand or kneel depending on the table height. in my opinion it is the most comfortable neck variation. and to progress, just continue adding bands. I believe because of this, it has to best loading capacity out of any neck exercise. It’s hard to go beyond two plates and the table plate loaded version so you have to resort to volume. That’s not a bad thing but i prefer to go heaver. So just buy some bands with high tension and you are good to go!

I have been training Neck since about August 2018 with considerable improvement. I have struggled with persistent trigger points in the scalenes and sternocleidomastoids - partly as a result of previous repetitive strain injury (typing... Been dealing with for years) - sometimes I sleep on it funny or aggravate neck doing shrugs, but usually with a week or two off not doing neck, I can return without much loss of gains. Any tips? Eventually I'll do a video about my improvement and I will credit you, as this whole journey on neck training started with a comment from one of my viewers telling me to come to your channel and learn neck game

Hey brother I'm always glad to hear about your neck journey and look forward to seeing that video! To answer your question about trigger points, I'll be honest and say that I do not know how to help.

I only have 25 pound plates and can do 20 reps with 3 of them in every neck angle (curl, extension, side). Now I'm physically limited by the fact that it's super hard to put them on my head and to hold them. That's why I started doing paused reps to keep improving, but do you guys have other suggestions?

[@rb9951]

Have you tried hanging a harness with a loading pin and doing rep work with just pushing or pulling the loading pin against various angles? That's basically how I have been solving my laziness for neck work. It's still tension and I haven't really lost size. Just do 100-200 reps of neck curls and extensions. Even sides. And it's pretty to setup when you are lazy. Just harness and pin. Literally a easy solution for me.

Hello Alex, I hope you are well! Concurrent periodization is going really great for me - I can now overhead press 165x8. I'm getting back into benching and just had two really quick questions: 1) Does reverse band benching and normal band benching have enough difference between them to override the biological law of accomodation? I know they both have different properties (regular bands has the overspeed eccentrics and adds weight at bottom), but I was wondering your opinion if they were different enough to be used on different bench days. 2) I'm a long limbed lifter (wingspan longer than height) and am afraid the floor press will have no carryover to my raw bench. I'm thinking about using an narrow grip (shoulder width grip) and putting 2 45 pound plates under me as well as 2 mats to lengthen the range of motion, and was wondering with all of this if you still think the Floor Press is a good accessory for me to improve dead stop power from the bottom of my raw bench. I'd love to dead bench but my experience deadbenching in the past gave me a labrum injury.

[@AlexLeonidas]

1) 100% yes 2) I think that's a great idea, and even with the long arms I'd still do the standard version. That said you have to experiment with these variations to determine what provides carryover. Experience will tell you what works best. Cheers Justin!

Kinobody said in his neck training video you should be stronger on neck curls than neck extensions. Naturally I am a lot stronger on the extensions (with a neck harness) than the curls even though my neck posture seems pretty balanced. Do you agree with his statement? Should I stop training neck extensions until my neck curls catch up? Or should I do less volume on the extensions than the curls?

[@AlexLeonidas]

It's the opposite. It may feel that way because he's using the plate version (which is limited), but with a head harness or four way neck machine the extension will be significantly stronger. This is also the idea way of doing the neck extension, not the plate.

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

Dang I didn't want to say it because I am a fan of you but were we supposed to replace the word neck with leg.

[@MrKowalskyfication]

Damn Alex I was actually considering not training neck today but after seeing this video, I am definitely going to do it.

[@AlexLeonidas]

That's what's up!

[@redharlow3139]

Strictly from my experience, I will say that you can get a big neck by simply pulling heavy ass weights. My neck is 18 inches and I never ever trained it directly. It wasn't big genetically ( I used to be very skinny) majority of my neck gains came from heavy barbell rows, t bar rows, shrugs etc. I don't really know why it causes neck hypertrophy but I ll go with power breeding and contracting that occures when lifting heavy. I don't say direct neck training is a waste of time, but for some like me it's simply not necessary if you already have a pretty big neck.

Hello Bismark, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIC5YayflrCYftk&t If you want optimal (key word) neck gains, direct work will always be 100% mandatory. This includes you, I guarantee that you can easily surpass 18 inches and your neck would get significantly stronger with specific work. That said, I agree that if you're satisfied with your current size it wouldn't be necessary. 18 inches is definitely solid so I understand where you're coming from.

@@Joker-ux3jf lol I already worked out before past years its just I started more consistently again I'm no beginner its just something I had mentioned to him before.

For me the only reason why I don't train neck is because every time I tried I get so dizzy that I puke right there in the middle of the gym after only like 2 sets. Not something I really like doing so...

[@AlexLeonidas]

Sorry to hear that James

[@xminteee300]

James Sarvan had the same problem, try not tilting your head so far back on the neck curls. Only go to parallel to the floor and you shouldn’t feel so dizzy

So let me put on my +5 hat of weaponsmithing...
