I used to do side neck raises (no idea what they're actually called but it's when you hold a plate by your temple and lift head towards shoulder laying down) after shrugs. Not really sure why I stopped tbh. Heard for neck rep range between 20-50 is better

Yes. Neck, forearms, face, and tibialis are the big things most people skip out on entirely for some reason.

I've only really trained neck briefly, though I probably will take a stab at it again once I get back into lifting. My neck is already pretty thick compared to the rest of me, so that's why I've held back.

Use your hands for resistance to train your cheek/brow muscles, and for your jaw use stuff like mewing, jawzrsize, and extra strength gum.

I mean that's fine if they're happy with it, but to me personally it detracts from the physique when you have an otherwise yoked dude with a scrawny neck or forearms in particular.

I used to do direct neck and forearm work, but I stopped because they grow like weeds in comparison to the rest of my body. It all depends on genetics. (Ded fkn Srs)

Phuck yeah I hit neck directly. CopeFear taught us this long ago brah.

1. Neck Crunches
2. Yes/No's (lay on your back and nod your head up and down like "yes" 20 times and then left to right like "no" 20 times then repeat AMRAP)
3. Weighted Neck raises, if you don't have that retarded head harness thing just put a medicine ball or plate on the back of your head.

If you're not neckmaxxing I honestly just don't know what to tell you.

Yep, neck curls are awesome. I have a piece of equipment from thestrongneck.com that makes them easy.

I don't have any pics of that I can share, but you can train any muscle on your body the same as you would anywhere else. For the results you can expect to get look up pics of the muscle structure on your face and just imagine how a particular muscle would look if it was bigger under your skin. Then to train it simply look up the function of that muscle and do that movement while counteracting it with force from your hands, your arms should always be strong enough relative to the smaller muscles on your face that you shouldn't need anything more than that.

I appreciate the reply, but I don't trust my imagination enough and wouldn't want to fk with this stuff without some more legit sources.

Mewing always has the most exaggerated before/afters, this one included.

I used to when I was bodybuilding in my teens. Stopped lifting for a few years and when I picked it up again regularly during covid I decided not to neck train to avoid injuring that crucial part of the body. I’m sure there are safe ways to train the neck but those harnesses always caused pain for me.

Anyone looking for a neck routine should check out GGG’s training though srs.
