Sohan Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 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 "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Shotokan-kez Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 we always do neck exercises in our warm before each lesson. I guess all warm up exercises are important including the neck.Kez x Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 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. A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublelegtakedown Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 umm do neck bridges like they do in wrestling! that's probably the easiest and most effective way. you can also do neck isometrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
