training for neck muscles

[carlos conde]

Which training routine can you recommend to make my neck bigger? Thanks.

I don't do anything specific but any overhead presses work it indirectly. There are routines and exercises etc online. Please note the risk for injury of the neck is REAL HIGH and hurts like a bitch

cleans build traps better than anything and is rarely done ever by people

Trap work, as Steve says, help (back of the neck).

Doing head bobs with weights hanging off your head is asking for an injury IMO.

I would focus on just building your traps like @stevesmi suggested.

Cleans, heavy deadlifts, heavy shrugs. Big and well developed trapped will make your jawline look much more pronounced and muscular.

I don't train neck or traps directly anymore. Deadlifts have been enough to keep my traps a good size.
