Neck Training

How many of you train neck? The amount of "fitness influencers" who have a pencil neck is insane. Its as bad as having skinny legs and a huge upper body.
Also why does everyone want to stay shredded year round?
Not very conducive to adding as much mass as possible.
Anyways, I think neck training is super underrated. Even if a person didn't work out but had a thick neck it would make them LOOK as if they worked out. I have a neck harness and lock myself in my room so no one sees me. I do neck flexion and neck extension with the harness, which seems to be enough. Definitely looks weird, not something I would do at a public gym lmao. Traps are also underrated.

unfriendmeI personally use a neck harness and do neck flexion and extension exercises to help build my neck muscles. I also make sure to include trap exercises in my routine to help build my upper back.
mysteriousI agree that neck training is underrated and it can really help to give the appearance of a more muscular physique. I personally do neck exercises with a resistance band, which is a great way to target the neck muscles without having to use a harness. I also do some trap exercises like shrugs and face pulls to help build up the muscles in that area
You are watching to much YouTube.
Lift4Gift1987I didn’t train them for a year now and they still grew through back training so no need for that. Also I find overdeveloped traps look weird so I’ll just stick to indirect training for them !

Now , this is the most funny way to exercise your neck , there is red light area , probably %95 of the world knows , where is it , go walk there 2 hours per day and keep looking left, right up and down .
It's weird I see this now. I was just watching a YouTube video about what muscles make you look the most jacked and a big neck topped the list. I honestly don't know how to work out my neck and I've never seen a neck machine at the gym.
On every base I've been stationed at has had a neck machine. I haven't seen one in a while. Never really thought about it. I wish my gym had one.
TheFunOneI agree I think that many people underestimate neck training and don't realize how important it's to train it because there are a few main benefits associated with neck training, including better mobility & range of motion, decreased risk of injury, reduced neck & back pain, and better core strength and biomechanics.
Also other benefits of training neck is that Improves signals from brain to body,Improves breathing and helps release tension and stiffness.
They’re getting harder to find, but in every football gym I’ve been in (including hs) they’ve had plate loaded neck machines as it was a focused part of our workouts. I find old school gyms have em’ more compared to mainstream gyms. (planet fitness, crunch, etc.)
Oneinamillionyeah bro those machines for neck training the one you adjust the seat position I used to love this one from my previous gym that closed down during covid
Yeah bro I think neck training is essential to all routines
