I think a very underrated part of training your neck is training the side muscles of the neck

If your only training the back and from muscles your neck won’t widen as much which is the point of neck training

Guys here should implement front, back and side neck exercises

your pfp has some of the worst proportions imaginable so I'd take your advise on what constitutes as underrated or overrated with an entire truckload of salt.

Mike Thurston mogs your whole bloodline

and it’s common sense, if you want a wider neck, train the side muscles. Shouldn’t be controversial

While doing only front and back you workout side muscles too lol. Thats how muscleswork. Even tho not as good as with direct training

Obviously when did I claim otherwise?? That’s like saying flat bench works upper chest, obviously it does. But you can bias certain important areas like the side

Let me guess you think you mog Mike cause u have a wide frame? JFL
narrow shoulders aren't his only failo, they're also sloped with unbalanced traps which makes him look even less aesthetic, overall terrible physique.

Yet he mogs you to infinity. And has millions of followers due to his physique. But it’s “terrible”. Ok lol

Go do a tinder experiment with him and you will see how much he mogs

most fitness influences have 'millions of followers' despite looking like dogshit, skywalker has close to as many followers as thruston does and looks like a natty framelet that does calisthenics in the park despite blasting and cruising for a decade, not much of an accomplishment.

Lying Weighted Lateral Neck Flexion

it's quite awkward to isolate the sides of your neck.

yet I constantly see people post about how his frame and insertions are great.

and he's not alone, most of them look awkward, even zyzz is kind of a framelet with narrow shoulders and sloped traps but his fans will defend it until they start foaming at their mouths.

most fitness influencers, or even hollywood bodies, are not particularly genetically gifted, neither in frame nor insertions nor their ability to maintain size.

That's why I don't wanna train traps, makes you looks less broad

it's mostly the way it's inserted that causes that, but yeah if you're pre-dispositioned towards more vertical growing traps you should make an effort to not train them too much.

I think the best way to go about this would be to prioritize neck rotations instead of neck side raises. This will work the upper traps significantly less while still keeping a lot of tension on the side of neck. Adding weight on rotations would be a little awkward. If you can find a way, do it, but I personally just use manual resistance with my hand.

His worst failo is his overdeveloped lower chest

agreed, makes it look like breasts.
The third one is too stocky. The others are really good however!
it's a good example for men with stockier skeletons, which is the majority, but I don't think it's naturally achievable.

you kind of need the right skeleton for the other examples, which is rough because it's not something you can train for.

not a big fan of the compact gymcel look that a lot of guys have after two+ years of training.

They are all look about the same in real life or you really believe they walking around with fake tan
the bodybuilder I picked is 6'2 with a good frame.

you'd usually be right though because most of them are short and stocky and don't look that impressive in real life as a result.

most gains you will get from side neck exercises. The rest of exercises you need to implement just to avoid muscles imbalances
How do you suggest you train? Sideways curls?
Just be consistent and do with good form. You get results so fast and easy that all those programms dont matter.
 
Mount a band at eye height.

Stand either to the left/right of band and perform curls/extensions. Switch to other side. 10-20 reps each to start.

Face band now and wrap around back of head. Perform lateral flexion, 10-20 reps each side. Turn around and perform same movement with band wrapped around forehead.

These variations train multiple regions of the neck at once.
 
Neck curl=sternocleidomastoid
Neck extension=splenius
Side stuff=both at the same time
 
My neck is 88% of my jaw width, is that alright OP?
ideal is 95 percent but anything less than 80 percent is flaw could be wider but great width. mogs my 75 percent jfl
 
Ideally I think when lying on your side on a bench doing side neck curls a partner is needed to hold you steady...inbetween their legs if necessary.

mfk there is a reason you don'tpost the entire pic of your frame. Your proportions are actually average

elite swimmers have the best bodies for general appeal, but in a bodybuilding context their back lacks.

You're coping.

Your physique looks retarded, overcompensating for bad lat insertions, my four year old niece with sickle cell disease has a wider ribcage than you, you unaesthetic ogre.

Probably a manlet too.

both large rib cages and low lat insertions are ogre traits that make you look like a gymcel rather than athletic.

your sense is aesthetics is crippled and based on the sexual preferences of predatory homosexuals.
