Neck Workouts

[fyyer]

I was wondering what kind of neck workouts you guys do? Ive tried the wrestlers bridge, and the reverse wrestlers bridge, is there any other types of movements? Im not sure if any of you guys have tried, but laying on a bench, and setting a rather light, 20-25 lb weight on the back of your head, and "curling" it, would that do much? or ??

I use a neck harness. It is leather and fits on my head. It had a chain that hangs down and you can add weights to it. It seems to work fairly well when I remember to use the damn thing! lol

There are a few basic exercises that reap great gains after a month or two.

They are simple and only require your neck and you hands.

It is a isometric movement that builds a strong thick neck that is ideal for wrestlers and boxers.

The first on is to place the palm of your right hand on the side of your right temple and push your neck to the right while simultaneously pushing with the palm to create a static situation where you are straining for 30 seconds. The same movement can be repeated on the opposite (left) side and on the forehead, too (although the forehead movement requires both palms).


The movement for the back of the neck requires you to hold your head with your hands while trying to push back with your neck.

Repeat each movement three time without a rest in between.

Do them every day or every other day.

Or you could just use the neck machines found at better gyms...

I just keep a 10 lb plate on the side of my bed and when I wake up in the morning I hang my head over the side of the bed dont lol I'm seroius and put a wash rag between the weight and my head and i do 20 reps in each position. I start of on my back the stomach the each side and it does build because when i stop i can see a difference in size.

for football we used to do manual neck exercises. lay down on your back on a bench with your head hanging off the end. your shoulders and lower neck should be supported by the bench. you should be able to move your neck through a full range of motion, but not so far as to be dangerous. have your training partner place a towel on your forehead and supply resistance. your partner should supply enough resistance such that each rep requires near-maximal effort. when you get to the top of the concentric portion, your parter then gently (but significantly!) increases pressure, attempting to force your head back down. you supply as much resistance as possible while attempting to prevent your partner from pushing your head down. that is one rep. do 10 just like that. Then turn on your stomach and use the same principle to work the back of the neck. then do each side. if you're doing this exercise right, by the time you finish a set you should be sweating and panting. by rep 10, your partner may actually need to assist you in the concentric portion instead of supplying resistance! you gotta love training neck to total concentric and eccentric failure simultaneously!!!

n.b. because of the intense maximal effort involved in this exercise, it is VERY WISE to perform some warm-up movements and stretches beforehand!
