| Registered User  | neck development? - lets see some pics A couple of years ago I was behind a guy in the checkout line at the supplement store and this guy had a neck on him I have never forgotten. Not only was his neck big but it was defined and the muscle groups running up the back of his neck to his head were very pronounced. -  I cannot find (google, yahoo) any pics out there with peoples neck development. Any pics of awesome neck development would be appreciated. -- need some inspiration for my workouts and see tons of other body part. |

| Registered User  | Do you mean the actual neck like lineman or brock lessnar or the traps. I'd guess the harness would give the largest neck. I personally already have a large neck so I would never try and make it larger. If you mean traps I found that the best thing is power shrugs. Basically you use your back to get a little momentum and then hold at the top for a one second count. I did these for 3 weeks instead of regular shrugs and saw very noticable improvements. |

| Registered User  | Back in high school, we had a "neck machine". I haven't specifically trained the neck since... and it seems pretty beefy. IIRC ~18" |

| Ultra Yellow Platinum Gold Member | I wish I had a big neck...I think this is another one of those genetic things, though. Kind of like calves and forearms. |

| Registered User   | 18.5" and I am absolutely not satisfied with it. It seems just about parallel my arm development though, as do my calves, so I probably can't raise it too far without gaining on the others as well. This thread inspired me to start working it out directly though, which I did last night and am definitely feeling today! |

 It has to be genetic... Neither my dad nor my grandpa train their traps or their neck and they both have rather large diameter muscled necks. | |

| Gold Member | LOL.... I saw a scrawny ass guy at the gym yesterday training neck... He had a leather head harness on connected to the cable weights. Half the people in the gym were pointing and giggling at how messed up it looked this guy pulling the preacher curl seat in the cable rack to work neck. It was all I could do to not laugh myself because of just how messed up that head harness looked on that tiny guy straining to pull 10-20 lbs... |

| Gold Member  | I have a pretty thick neck from just bodybuilding. I joined a new gym that has a neck machine and today before cardio I did the neck machine side to side. A flexible large neck does have benegits like whiplash. turnign your nack really fast. Used to do shrugs-not anymore Used to hang my neck off of a bench with weight on my head and do neck raises-This is good for boxing as it prevents the neck snapping if you get hit. I really dont need a bigger neck and I might as well use the side to side machine before cardio if its their. Some people have said that Arnold has too small of a neck. No worries though he made it regardless of what what say |
