I would if it didn't cause and exacerbate sleep apnea.

I only do traps now - no direct neck training.

I only do it with 10kg, I read that it's better to go high rep for neck. No idea but if I can find something to measure will update, pretty thick neck though

I think the 10lbr will be enough too. If you can hit 100 reps with 10ĺbs youre not gonna have a small neck srs.

The back i can load up with the harness though. Front would require some dicking around

15-20 reps to failure for neck, stretching and warming up sets are vital, can use harness both ways but need a bench or something to brace yourself for the other way.
Remember the guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else.

I don't think the rest of me is ever going to get big enough for my neck to warrant any training. I'm sure having a strong neck has benefits, but I'd be more likely to waste my time with junk volume or get injured.

I was the only guy training neck in our gym. And the funny thing is, someone said I have the biggest neck and train it, while 99.9% of others have thin necks and never train it.

Another funny thing is - neck is never a part of ANY lifting program. Not one. You will never find personal trainer who teach it to his "students". Even if you ask, you will get strange but very safe answers.

I've found all of the above also applies to dick training.

Direct neck work is not necessary. When you train other muscles (eg traps, back, shoulders) the cross activation exposes your neck to enough growth stimuli. So it's pretty much impossible to be jacked everywhere else but have a pencil neck. And if you're not jacked but just want a thick neck, don't, that looks stupid.

Here's a video that explains this:

I do it for Muay Thai. It help with clinch. I can pick up heavy weights pretty easy and carry them for 30 seconds.

I think direct neck training is very beneficial. Just don't do too much weight or go bananas with neck training. A safer alternative would be to strengthen your neck through isometric exercises.

Isn't it a sign when they have a small neck and big muscles that they juice?

If yes, then workout and lift without the shortcuts and the neck comes with the gains right?

Don't.

I trained my neck, and basically gave myself, or exacerbated sleep apnea.
