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.

Haha you are one huge guy.

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...

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.

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....
get thick fish wire and sew it all around the hooks part,never break

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.

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!

Onlyme once lent a Gillette blade to Liz Taylor when they attended an SPCA fundraiser.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Dodger- 180 or 200? Sounds a little out there... The best I've heard was Peter doing 10x160 on the DB cheat curls.
