I’ve seen a lot of wrong neck training guides and this is my attempt to systematize this esoteric knowledge.
Neck is one of the most dangerous yet rewarding softmaxxes that could easily gain you 0.5 PSL points.
Too many people don’t train their neck which makes their proportions look off like Jeff Nippards’s. He had been training in the gym for 10 years at the left and 12 on the right. The only difference in those two pictures are the two years he trained his neck.
(1) What does the perfect neck look like? (platonic ideal)
(A) It needs to be the same width as the the widest part of the face- which is usually your bigonial or bizygomatic
Another thing to add is that your bigonial: bizygomatic ratio should be 0.9-1.05: 1
An example of the perfect neck width ( with the bigonial: neck being the same) is Henry Cavill.
Another great example is Logan Paul:
And to get the point across here is ex-felon turned supermodel Jeremy Meeks
with a 1:0.75 of bigonial to neck on the left
and
with a 1:1 ratio of bigonial to neck on the right
(B) Adam’s apple
Big Adam’s apple is ideal. There isn’t anything you can do to increase it except a risky surgery called Adam’s apple augmentation. But this is only used for transgender female to male patients.
Genetically some people have a huge Adam’s apple like Christiano Ronaldo or Marlon Lundgren Garcia. If you aren’t blessed with this aestethic trait don’t worry about it.
If you are under 12% bodyfat and have 1:1 bigonial to neck, the leannes will expose the neck muscles and Adam’s apple more. As you get older it will get more prominent
(C) Leannes/Low bodyfat
You lose fat on your neck as you go down in weight. The ideal scenario is to be lean af and have a 1:1 ratio.
(D) So the ideal neck looks something like that of a professional bodybuilder called ATHLEAN X
Low bodyfat
Neck side muscles bulging
Prominent adam’s apple
1:1 ratio of bigonial to neck
Another example of a perfect neck is prime Frank Zane
Low bodyfat
Neck side muscles bulging

1:1 ratio of bigonial to neck
Another example:
(E) Another tip is that your neck circumference should be equal to your calves and upper arm circumference
This is a tip from Steve Reeves who had those 3 at 18”
(2) Neck types
This is the part I see so many people get wrong. They don’t account for skull size and the size of genetic insertions.
Some people (most models) have genetically small skulls
(A)
Ian Somerhalder on left
Henry Cavill (right) and another actor ( left)
Even though they are 1-2 inches apart in height, Henry’s skull is smaller by a standard deviation.
(B)
No matter how much you train your neck, your neck still largely depends on two major things
-SKULL SIZE
- Sternocleidomastoid insertions
- Sternocleidomastoid origins
Jordan Barret at 13 , he is about 6 foot and if he was 140 lbs now he would still have a massive neck

(3) Why even care about neck training?
(A) It bulletproofs your head. Boxers train the neck to avoid getting a concussion/knocked out like Mike Tyson.
(B) It’s also very useful in a car crash because it absorbs and distributes force.
F1 drivers devote their time to training it.
(C) It corrects your posture and heals the spine
Neck training young makes sure you don’t have neck/back pain when you are older
(D) There is a credible theory that it tightens the skin around jawline / where hollow cheeks would be.
”Since then I swear my lower third looks sharper now even at a similar body fat.”
(E) The wider your neck is the more masculine you appear as you can see in this chart.
(4) There is such a thing as too much
Anything over 100% becomes unaestethic but it’s a personal choice
Unless you are a wrestler or NFL player you won’t need it.
(5) Neck anatomy
Your neck is packed full of muscles that help you flex, extend, twist, and turn your head.
Most of your results will come from bulking up your upper traps and sternocleidomastoid
