Neck Exercises Reduces the Look of Facial Asymmetry?

[toji.]

Hello, I'll get straight to the point, I'd like to know if neck exercises can reduce the decompensation/asymmetry of the neck in relation to the face.

For example, this guy undoubtedly has one side of his face wider than the other, giving the appearance that his neck is asymmetrical.

Understanding that the ideal (I assume from ignorance) is for the width of the neck to be a little or equal to the width of the gonials. Example:

Could neck exercises reduce this asymmetrical appearance, what exercises should do?

Just do basic neck exercises and progressively overload. Get one of those chains.

I assume that the exercise should focus on one side of the neck, the side that is most unbalanced. But are there really exercises for one side of the neck?

yeah to both this and question. Thick neck mogs.

 

[toji.]

There is an exercise called Lateral Neck Flexion, I will try it, one side of my neck is asymmetrical in relation to the other and to the face. I will let you know if there is a difference.

dnr. Neck exercises grow your neck which causes sleep apnea. Have fun taking years of your life.

The little I have read says that a 17+ inch neck has a higher risk of apnoea, it also says that a 16 inch neck is perfectly normal and has no risk of apnoea. So basically you need to avoid going over the 16" line.

On the other hand, if the ideal symmetry is a width in relation to the gonials, it seems that it does not exceed 16 inches, this boxer called Anthony Joshua has a neck of 18 inches and clearly exceeds the neck width ratio in relation to the gonials.​

Thank you for exposing the risk of the neck exercise.

Who can tell how many inch have neck archie?

does it work the side that the weight is on or the side closer to the ground?

Hypertrophy is directed to the non-weight-bearing side.

 

[UnevenNeckshi]

so the side closer to the ground right? thanks for the info

 

[toji.]

so the side closer to the ground right? thanks for the info

Yes

 

[UnevenNeckshi]

Yes

also how long did it take for you to notice a significant change in the size of the side you were working? How often were you working out that side per week (not just days but sets as well) ?

 

[UnevenNeckshi]

Yes

bro one problem I've been having is even though I try target the right side of my neck most the strain goes on the left side of my neck thus causing it to absorb most the hypertrophy since the left side of my neck is weaker, do you know any exercise I could do to make the left side of my neck stronger to stop this issue?

yes it can potentially mask it

Try with resistance bands then

 

[UnevenNeckshi]

Try with resistance bands then

fairs I don't have a resistance band so I'll just use a towel to do isometric holds hoping eventually my left side is strong enough to stop stealing gains from my right side

 

[UnevenNeckshi]

Try with resistance bands then

actually I tried with a towel like I said and it didn't work, guess I'm cooked

Yes you right look into neck stretching routines too neck tightness is usually a culprit of this sorta stuff

wait do you have anything to prove neck stretching can help it look better?

Torticollis, facial asymmetry and plagiocephaly in normal newborns - PubMed

Asymmetries of the head and neck are very common in normal newborns, and sixteen (16%) of 102 study newborns were found to have torticollis. Such newborns, especially if they sleep supine, are thought to be at risk of developing deformational posterior plagiocephaly. Identification of affected...

It’s because the muscles don’t develop properly due to muscle stiffness and the bad posture from it and shit, get really into orthotropics and stretching imo

 

[UnevenNeckshi]

fuck i realised when my left side grew it was actually cuz of forward neck curls not lateral flexions which just makes it even harder to try bias my right side
