to Those of you who train neck, how do yall do it?
do you have a home gym or do yall just ball out and rep them out at the gym

i want to start training neck but skeptical about doing it in my local gym

I worked it out at home, just laying on my bed. Added more weight till I was satisfied.

Im pretty sure this was the video I watched little over a year ago. I started off with no added weight and the started using weight plates eventually.

Yeah

Yeah

Just push down ur forehead with ur hand when doing neck curls and do it hard enough so u can only do like 10 reps in total. ur welcome

if u want to be fancy buy the bs off amazon to attach weights to ur neck and then u can use that and actually have progressive overload. Make sure to do neck curls on all sides.

is having some type of hard surface like a proper bench not important tho i feel like laying on a soft sunken bed will be kinda aids

well i dont know but it is easier to get progressive overload, so probably is.

just make sure ur head hangs off properly and it doesnt hurt, i dont think the surface matters that much, as long as ur neck has full ROM and doesnt hurt on the side of a bed or something.

No worries. I saw progress even without using weights and with hanging my head off my bed. I went from barely being able to do like 20 neck curls to doing 20 ish per set with my hand acting as a weight, its a good softmax.
