Author Topic: I added an inch to my neck in the last 3 months! (Read 4007 times)

Just measured the circumferance inline with adams apple my neck is 16", around 3 months ago before i started neck training it was only 15" lol. Im making progress baby, the rumor about neck being the fastest growing muscle must be true.

I attatch 22.5kg to the head harness and do 10 reps for 5 sets once per week, when i first started i was using 15kgs. I think the gains will slow down now though after the initial adaptation..

my goal is 18-19".

No need for weights with the neck, just spend some time every day rolling around on it.

I have never trained my neck - I wear 19" shirts.

I also have a pea head so if i do i would look sillier.

I'm in the same boat as you man. The only neck exercises I did were wrestling for 6 years. It's tough to find a dress shirt that doesn't look like a dress because of my neck.

I wear fat man's clothes.

My work shirts are stupidly 'puffy' because of my neck etc

Congrats and good job.

sounds like you're doing great.

I've never worked out my "neck" and still had a 17 3/4 in neck. Then I stopped lifting and didn't do anything for 7 years and now it's 16in. I think I might try what you're doing and build it back up a bit.

good job again and keep up posted on your progress.
