Question for the neckmaxxers

[Souleth]

Is lateral neck flexion like side curls necessary? Can I skip them entirely and do only front curls and extensions?

 

[Finncelchud]

Do them without a weight

Just train traps by doing dumbbell shrugs. Training traps makes your neck look bigger. Also train shoulder so your traps don’t look weird.

you told me you have a narrow frame if its realy narrow and your not having body dysmorphia i wouldnt reallytrain it alone
@combatingNorwooding prolly know about this talk to him but frame wise it bad to only train neck for EXTRMELY NARROW frame average and below average arent harmed by this

not my area of knowledge

I don't have a narrow frame, I have a small frame
My clavicles are long but the frame itself is thin.

If you want to maximize your neck then yes. The muscles that exercise bias aren’t really big but it can look weird when underdeveloped compared to your anterior and rear neck

The set up is very unstable most of the time unless you have a bench

The set up is the reason why I'm asking tbh. Even with a bench it feels unstable.

then it actualy can make your frame seem bigger now wait for norwooding to answer he kinda smart on ts shi

Yeah I figured

You do it with a neck harness? If no then do it with one

If it’s still awkward and uncomfortable do isometrics

You mean narrower? Training neck can make the illusion of having a narrower frame

The difference is negligible anyway but it won’t make your frame look bigger for sure

I do have a harness, but I feel like a plate might be more stable

actually I'll go ahead and try tomorrow to see which set up works better.

thats what i thougth but effects are opposite on already narrow frames and wide frame having more traps and neck can make you look "bigger" on a wide frame and v taper but narrow frame it gets overpowered

traps are underrated if you have wide clavicles imo
i could be wrong tho but it a common misconetiopin taring traps makes your frame "smaller" only applies with narrow clavilecels

It’s not only about traps, if your neck is bigger it makes your shoulders and overall bidlet look smaller

 

[zinsa]

you only need extension and flexion
