I'm a big fan of the Barbarian Brothers. As most people know they were big on training their necks.
But just how prominent were their necks?
I am considering buying a neck harness...will that suffice for neck training?
Thanks bro.

Neck harness is pretty good but its hard to train sideways
Here's me in the backyard:

After Keith measured their necks, the Barbarian Brothers, Nolan Ryan, Larry Hagman, and Pat Benetar hopped in Onlyme's 1982 T-bird for a quick lunch at the 4 seasons before a Charity dinner at Madonna's house.
-
you should leave your neck alone, only morons train their neck.
-
Also, OnlyME, what about the strength/capacity of the neck harness?
Will something like this suffice? http://www.sportsnutritioncentre.co.uk/neck-harness-p-65.html
...looks very light-weight to me....

Keith 80's-celeb-name-dropping jokes never get old! ;D
Did you know he once sat next to Jonesey from Police Acadamy at a charity event?? It's rumored he was also once in the same zip code at the same time as Sylvester Stallone!

NECK:
-
keith's scanner hates him
-
I do neck training as well. I think bbers' body's look goofy attached to untrained necks.
-
A thicker neck makes you look better, gives you more of a squared jaw look

its an injury waiting to happen

Lay on your back and roll backwards on your head, wrestling neck exercises works best.

Imagine the injury you will get if you dont have a strong neck...

I heard Onlyme lost a role in a movie because he was extremely good looking.

I trained neck with Peter and David many times. The thing I remember is REPS. Lots & lots of reps. Drop sets, super sets, etc. Train heavy but finish off with drop sets and pump sets. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
-
TommyW, can you say something about HOW to train neck?
Will using a harness alone give me the results?

Are you saying TommyWishBone has great Arab genetics, Monster T?

The specific neck training should only be used if its lagging seriously behind other body parts and shrugs should help em out but the basket thing is junk I have tried it and its awkward as hell, you have to warm your neck up like crazy before and its a serious neck injury waiting to happen....I would def. never buy one or use it at a gym ever again...
-
its an injury waiting to happen
Yes it is for people who have pencil necks and who never train them. It is normal for people with this affliction to say this. Also its pretty common for people who can't develop their neck to say things like this. Man I am happy as hell I was never one of those types.

I love these. Lets me see. I have met Nolan Ryan yes, Larry Hagman no (but Bill Daly was a good friend), Pat Benetar no (but did a commercial with Whitney Houston), not a 1982 T-Bird but did have a beautiful 1967 convertible Firebird and I hate the Four Seasons here but like Roy's and never been to Madonna's house for a charity party but I did go to go to some fancy house in Boca Raton for a charity affair. I think I covered it. Give me some more I love talking about this stuff. Oh I never measured the twins neck but mine here is 21". Lets see a pic of yours. ::)
Damn straight, show some respect people!

Yes a Gillette Commercial I did with Don Ross not Liz Taylor and I never did anything for the SPCA but alot for the Special Olympics. Isn't that where I first saw you compete my jap friend

Thanks bro.
They had great necks but i never tained neck with them. I used a harness alot. Davids was bigger
-
Thanks for the replies Dodger and OnlyME.
Obviously training the back of the neck is easy. You lean forwards and extend you neck up and down.
How about the other way? Bending the neck forwards? Can this be trained easily with a neck harness too? And basically, is a neck harness all I need?
-
onlyme why did you train your neck? i would assume youre one of those guys that always had a thick neck?
and did it improve by training in size or just strength?
-
david did 570 once one time reverse grip
wow no kidding I never heard that before
-
wow no kidding I never heard that before
i don't think he ever did that much, there was a clip of him trying 550 on the Dick Cavett show and he didn't even come close, bar came about an inch off his chest and right back down.
-
Quakor I heard about MORE than 550 (around 570 or 585) myself too. This from someone who had trained with the Barbarians. He used to post on ironage. (His name was Paul as well). According to him he knew the barbarians for many years.

who knows, maybe, i'm just telling what i saw in that clip and he missed 550 badly.

I tried DLing it today. Link was down though. There's only the vid on youtube where he fails with 5 plates on rev. grip.
We need Keith to tell more stories about these guys.

yeah it is and he really didn't rock that much , just to hold them in one hand is a feat in itself
-

that was actually when he was really young,,,david got way stronger years later and peter too, than that clip,especially when david started getting over 250 lbs,but he also says now that being heavier doesnt mean more strength,he says its all physicalogical(spelling)he was benching 315 when he was only around 150lbs
-
I read One of them/they (forgot which) did 265 for 8 on barbell curls with less cheat than that.
On NO BULL Peter mentions David first getting Weiders attention when he was quite young and he did a spontaenous 50x150 lbs on DB rows. OBviously both brothers got a lot stronger later.

come on man, no offense but their feats were impressive enough on their own without having to exaggerate them.

TommyW, can you say something about HOW to train neck?
Will using a harness alone give me the results?
IMO... using a harness alone can give you a huge muscular neck, BUT with a machine or two, you can take your neck development to absurd levels.
My original/1st harness workouts:
1) Standing neck raises 5 x 20. Place your hands against a wall and keep your feet approx 4 feet from the wall (as if you're being searched by a cop).
2) Reverse neck raises 5 x 20. For this movement you MUST be able to lean backwards at approx a 25-30 degree angle. You will have to hold a rope or a bar that is attached to the wall so you are not pulled over backwards. Awkward at first, I know.
3) Flat bench neck pump reps 5 x 50, slow and controlled. Lay flat on a bench with your head hanging completely over the edge of the bench and simply do neck raise reps, slow and controlled. Then flip over so you are facing the ground and do reverse neck raises, slow and controlled. This is a very short ROM movement but it helps with the pump.
4) Giant set those 4 movements.
With that harness routine, my neck was 20 - 20 1/4' at a bodyweight of 220. Later with machines, more weight, anabolics and an evil plan to have the biggest neck in the world, my neck taped at 22 5/8" at a bodyweight of 272. ;D True story.

YES FOR ROWS NOT CURLS,,,BUT PETER DID THE 170'S ONCE FOR STANDING CURLS BUT FELT SERIOUS INJURIES COMING

dodger where/how do you know these guys?

Dodger if you have pics of their training please upload them -- not that many around, unfortunately.

I DONT KNOW IF YOU HAVE EVER DONE THE LAYING DOWN ON FLAT BENCH AND JUST GRABBING THE 45LB PLATE AND HOLDING AGAINST YOUR FOREHEAD AND DOING THEM THAT WAY TOO,,WORKS REALLY WELL ALSO,BUT YOUVE PROBABLY DONE THAT TO.YEA I REMEMBER PETER SAYING THAT THEY WOULD DO A LOT OF DROP SETS AND LIGHT WEIGHT ALSO.

Absolutely. An excellent movement. Of course a nice pad or folded towel helps keep the plate(s) from creasing your forehead. :D

onlyme why did you train your neck? i would assume youre one of those guys that always had a thick neck?

I trained my neck since I was a sophmore in high school. Heavy training came later though when I started using heavier weight. My traps were very big and tend to blend in with my neck pretty good anyway. It just seemed to grow. My arms, neck and calves were all 21". I didn't really train it for any reason but just to train it. I would do it sometimes when I needed to rest cause I could sit down.
I just saw a video of me taken back in the mid 90's with my daughters. I am going to get it digitized so I can post some of it. I am in a tank top and it amazes me my neck and shoulders in it. I veins going across my shoulders and I was huge. I didn't even realize I was that big but that video makes me look pretty good.
-
when is the obsession with the barbarian brothers going to end,,,,they must have made quite an impression

Wow that girl has a wide back :o
