get a strap that goes around your head and hang weights from it. your face points to the ground at start and ends looking up toward the sky at the finish of the pull.

Theres a 4 point neck machine at my gym.

I used it yesterday now my neck is sore as hell.

theres alot of exercises. be creative. lay off your bed and raise your head up and down.

bridges.

agree, do them all the time in wrestling!

your neck muscles will respond to all of your other training. i wouldnt get those muscles too tight. alot of problems can arise due to muscle growth pushing on nerves and affecting blood flow causing headaches and all types of unnecessary issues. restricted movement is a possibility.


*****UNLESS YOURE A FIGHTER OR WRESTLER AND NEED TO TRAIN YOUR NECK

Yep. Here is a vid: bridges

Obviously the vid shows what you want to build up to. Use your hands as support until your neck can support your weight.

Hi, Kyle!

Here are some "Oldtimer"-Suggestions:

The Tight Tan Slacks of Dezso Ban: Neck Training - Hoffman, Grimek, McCallum

Remember - the first article is about neck specialisation.
For just adding a little more work for your neck, I would prefer Grimeks tips.

Hope this helps a little!
