I was answering his "neck" question.
I just explained the same thing to holy in another thread. Your neck may just be predisposed to being smaller in comparison to the rest of your body. But I guarantee as the rest of your body grows, your neck will.
If you have to wear dress shirts, believe me it's a pain in the ass having to go to specialty shops for your size 19.5 or 20 (or larger) neck dress shirt.
Why do want to get your neck bigger LB55?
Shoulders:
Military Press
Behind the neck press
Dumbell Presses
One arm shoulder presses
Front lateral raises
Side lateral raises
Rear lateral raises
Neck:
You can you a towel to tug down on your neck while pushing your head upwards
Resistance training for the neck (using very low weights)

neck
bridge bench presses
laying on the floor, pelvis elevated, most of the weight (body weight) is on the back of the head. therefore it is being supported by the neck.
someone hands you light weight on a bar and you slowly perform the bench press motion. GRADUALLY work your way up in weight. IMO the weight isn't important its the way you perform your reps. try 3x12-15 to end your next chest and/or shoulder workout.
sorry, its a tough exercise to describe in writing
BTW- the whole dress shirt issue IS a pain in the ass
good luck

No one does push-ups and dips?
Unless you're 400 pounds, then push-ups and dips are too easy. At least they are for me. I do weighed dips with 75 pound dumbells between my legs.

Not true... ever hear of super-setting, pre-exhaustion, or drop setting?
And waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day on my last set of dips I would do a drop set beginning with 25# + 10# + 10# plates dangling between m'knees. Crank out like 8 to 10, then drop 10, 10 and end with only my bodyweight. By the time I got down to "just" my bodyweight I could rarely get out more than 4 or 5 reps. That was 45# on my last set in addition to my bodyweight of 135 - 140# or so. Not bad for a little girl that only stood 5' 3 1/4"....
Try super-setting tricep push-ups between dumbbell presses. I guarantee you will be DYING.
Or if you dare, pre-exhaust with the push-ups before doing other chest work.
Or if you REALLY want to challenge yourself. At the end of your pec workout do push-ups on top of two medicine balls. The lack of stability underneath your hands will bring your workout to a whole nuther level.

Try these for neck and shoulders:
Handstand push-ups
Overhead Squat
Push Jerk
Clean and Jerk
Push Press
Shoulder press (standing of course)
Side laterals will not give you a 20" neck unless you pump yourself full of roids.

Bikinimom, I know the principles of pre-exhaust, super-setting, drop-setting, all different ways of doing HIT (high intensity training)
Regardless, push ups and dips are too easy for me....they don't give me a proper pump, but thats only me. My ex workout partner used to always warm up with push ups and it used to do wonders for him. Dips only work for me when I lift pretty heavy and do like 30+ reps. The lactic acid buildup in my arms is quite slow when I do dips
