Neck training

[Donny]

after a neck injury some years back i always try to train my neck directly & i stretch it. Most people do not need direct training as the neck is trained with other movements but like say calves & Forearms why not train it?

I remember reading about the Barbarian Brothers at Goldīs Gym pulling cars using their necks

I originally used a the old helmet as pictured. It did a great job.

 Now I use this four way neck machine in my basement.

 A cheap effective solution is the apparatus in the link I'm putting in here.

 Having a built body and a skinny neck or soft looking neck is a bad look. Having a built neck makes you look masculine.  If you want to train the neck on the cheap just fold up a towel and put a plate on your forehead lying on a bench and do neck curls. Get a neck strap off amazon and while sitting do neck extensions with a plate connected to the chain. For the sides you can use hand pressure and even twists resisting your hands.

That Helmet looks wicked but i use a neck harness & as you wrote plate wrapped in a towel lying face up off a bench.
I have also tried other methods such as bands but a weight plate works fine.
In the Gyms here i have never seen a direct neck machine but in the USA American Football is a sport where a powerful neck is important also wrestling so you have these machines.
Having said that on German TV we are now getting more American football shown.

I started training my neck when training martial arts. I emulated Mike Tyson' routines.

Injuries took me out of the game but I continued training my neck, and powerlifting got it to nearly 17 inches.

In 2015 a newly-minted 19-year-old girl hit me from behind at a claimed 45 mph.  I was actually in the damn bike lane. 

I tore my sternocleidomastoids, but the left had no morphological changes.  The right one is shredded, so my head is permanently left-shifted because of the muscle imbalance.

Same collision to a women or a pencil neck geek would have them in the morgue or on a machine for life.

Train your neck. 

TRAIN YOUR NECK.

Those neck bridges he did were insane.  Wouldn't try that myself

We'll never know the secret methods (blank) used to build his 19" neck.

I do front and side neck crunches.  Neck bridges were a bridge too far for me.
