Working out the neck

Your neck often is strengthened indirectly through other movements, particularly multiple joint exercises like squats and power cleans. You can specifically train your neck with plate raises, shrugs, bridges, etc, but for most people it's probably not necessary.

I have done plate raises with up to 45 lb plates and found the results quite satisfactory. However, I enjoy having a more symmetrical look to my physique now, and since I'm not a competitive athlete in a grappling sport, it's not really worth the time to train them. Plus, I enjoy wearing 17 1/2 necks on dress shirts again.

With respect,

Sohan

The old Nautilus exercise machines had a neck station that was very good, but I don't think there are many of them around anymore. Do shrugs and deadlifts.
