The Importance of the Lateral Neck Muscles (NECKPILL!!!)

[Yuki]

You probably want your neck to look wide from the front. That’s why you should focus on training the lateral neck muscles—such as the sternocleidomastoid—when working on your neck.

If you only train the front and back of the neck, the result is mostly a 'longer' neck, meaning it grows forward and backward but not significantly in width.

So, while your neck may be objectively larger, it might not appear much broader than it did at the beginning of your training. I would mainly recommend front and rear neck training if your goal is for your neck to look more muscular from the side

Exercises for a Wider Neck (Frontal Appearance)​

1. Lateral Neck Flexion (Isometric)​

• Sit or stand upright.
• Place your hand against the side of your head.
• Push your head into your hand without letting it move.

2. Side Neck Raises (Lying)​

• Lie on your side on a bench with your head hanging off.
• Slowly lower your head toward your shoulder, then raise it back up.

Personally, I would do 4 sets of 25 reps and try to hold for 45 seconds when doing the isometric exercise. (btw, if you finish your 25 reps and feel like you can't go any further, just reduce the weight and keep repping.)

Dont forget proper form dont want to fuck up your neck


Conclusion: I’d do maybe 2 sets for the front and back each – just to keep them toned and prevent weakness – but your main focus should be on the sides.

does thick neck really increase smv? I think its just an intimidation factor

Eh, the SNM also gets worked in regular neck curls, tho isolation for it will obviously work it better.

Yea, the correlation is getting weaker and weaker day by day, as women are preferring feminised men.. and of course outliers exist
