Bulging biceps might save you from dateless Saturday nights, but a strong neck can save your ass. A muscular neck screams "don't screw with me" and separates you from the "pec-and-bi warriors." Whether you're lifting, boxing, playing football, or doing any other high-contact activity, neck training should be at the heart of your program.
Your neck supports the weight of your head and safeguards the nerves that transmit sensory and motor information from your brain to the rest your body. In a perfect world, one without kinks and crimps, your neck is both sturdy and flexible. But it doesn't get that way all by itself.
To build overall neck strength and maximize hypertrophy, you need to train extension, when your head is back, and flexion, when your is head forward. You need to train rotation, when you twist your neck to look over your shoulder, and lateral flexion, when you move your head from side to side.
This routine provides neck training that strengthens your neck in all...
