[Deleted member 18418]

is it a good sign?

yes

Dont over do it. After neck curling for the first time after a six month break my neck was sore for like three days. It was painful af to turn my head.

Btw do neck curls grow your traps or only sternocleidomastoids? Because i dont want to grow my traps.

as long as your form is correct plus the right weights, no jerking motion or using hand other than for support. use only neck

both. there are different variations that focus more on each. but yes, traps will get worked. why wouldnt you wann grow your traps anyway?

bro neck muscles develop super fast and you progress in weights super fast too.

i do 12.5kg 4 sets of 25 3x weekly (first set of my workout cause you always start with the group you wann a target most and go with decreasing order of priority. mine is neck > delt > trap + lower (deads, rackpulls, farmer walks)

my neck increased 4 cm in circumference in 3 mos after i got the regimen right. so you might take 1-1.5 mos to get the form right with no / low weights. once youre confident, keep increasing weights. never curl with higher weight than confident or use shit form or even work your neck without neck warmup - chintucks, classic sitting athletic neck stretches). also another reason i keep necks as first, i dont wanna strain isolate it too much at the end of my workout.

Because traps are naturally a ”strongpoint”for me and imo big traps arent very aesthetic.

can you still get good results without weights?

okay i can understand, but once you start to develop other groups, you'd wanna increase traps to go with them too. depending onn the look you want too. i like the zyzz look. so

can you still get good results without weights?

i mean yeah, but then you'd have to go up in reps reaching a point of diminishing returns fast with chance of injury possibly. if youre not into weight or think thyre dangerous or whatever, get head harness with resistance bands. check thsi out. should clear your doubts. i like training neck cause also its one of the dominance signalling muscle groups in a shirt face to face with others and frames my face much better

Steve reeves has the ideal physique imo. There are plenty 10/10 physiques like David Laids but my bodytype is closer to reeves.

I feel like big traps make your shoulders look narrower. Look at alphadestiny for example. He looks vertical af cause of his traps.

I love those looks too but unachievable for me because im more meso-endomorphic. My femurs jump out a bit which make me a bit curvy but my hips and waist are narrow and clavicles are wide so my untrained body resembles an x or an hourglass and zyzz’s and Brads untrained physiques resemble a rectangle.

a good neck can make a decent lower third look great tbh

ok, then your intelligent

 

[Deleted member 18418]

I hope you get a mogger neck, I’m gonna start doing neck curls tomorrow, thicker neck accentuate the jaw and makes you look high fighting success.

my lower third is pretty good, i hope to ascend hard with neckmaxxing

dude i did it again and my neck is tired af. can i take tomorrow off? is 5 times a week alright?

 

[Deleted member 18086]

one of the worst and most pointless exercises. you can get neck gains while training your traps. just do high weighted shrugs and upright roses. i used to to do shrugs with 50kg dumbells on each hand while weighing 74 kg.

Ok good advice but please tell op to not start with weights directly as its more likely to hurt his neck

Patience is key and results are fast. Op start without weight every day ( 6 days a week ) for 1-2 months than add weight slowly. Add reps slowly too.

3x weekly is good enough. 4x max that i would do. watch the video agn

>2 sets of 20 reps try doing 2 sets of 100 reps total 200 reps. .but reverse the neck positions ...i do MMA , and i have seen i can take punches more...my neck became thicker ...from 13.5 inch to 16 inches ..obviously you can increase your neck size with nutrition too , by eating like a pig but that is all fat ...i do necks everyday before my lifts ...also the best thing is it gives you a masculine appeal ...when you neck looks atleast as big as your jaw ..gradually if you wanna increase the stress , try biting on a towell and put it between the hole of a weight plate to increase the gains and the strength of your neck
