Two Exercise for a Strong Neck

Want to build a strong neck? Here are two neck exercises you can do without specialized neck-training machines.

1. The Plate Neck Crunch

This hits the anterior musculature in the neck. Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

2. The Banded Push-Away

This creates the proper tension and resistance to target the posterior musculature of the neck effectively. Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps. – Tanner Shuck

Bros, start without weight, work up to a 45lb plate

Much safer than the neck bridges I see tutorials on

[MattLouw]

For the general gym rat, DO NOT START WITH A PLATE AS BIG AS THIS GUY IS USING. A 2.5 kg plate to start with for reps is plenty enough if you haven't trained neck before.

What I do is go lay down at the edge of my bed, put my head all the way down, and move my head up and down. I’ve done that for 3 days and I already see some improvement

[Karma-jiud]

I mean, it's not really about looks or anything, it's just nice to know I have strength in places people typically don't, meaning if anything happens, I'd be more likely to bounce back from it.

the resistance band neck exercise is really smart, thank you, I use just bands for my strength and conditioning and gained 7 kgs of muscle in 4 months

that look easy and safe thanks for the videos. ✊🏿

Work up to 4x25 with your bodyweight only before touching a plate then go to 5lbs plz everyone who watches this

[ShaneCrazy]

Make sure you start without weight and get used to the motions first. Then slowly add weight. The band exercise was interesting 💪

Omg i watched this video a year ago but i never realised this was Tanner😅. Back to the present i watch his vids everyday. A very underrated guy 💪

[therealmcgoy]

I feel like if you have a large head like me and a thin neck that it would just look better overall. Thanks these exercises look dope. I will fit them into my workouts.

[ParvParashar]

Really great video! It’s so comprehensive yet so simple to understand. Everything was explained phenomenally. Incredible work! 🙏💪👍

[edub]

Aren't you supposed to do sides too?

[ivyr]

Second was pretty cool. Never seen it before

[Idontgotnorap]

Y’all don’t never tell these ppl they can get bad neck injuries from this I had got that shit where u get dizzy everytime u lay down last summer

[afandehawa]

But when you see the X-ray of my neck you will just help me 😭 me immediately my neck is ben with much pain love you God bless you

[JulianCuttie]

Just to add my two cents, my gym doesn’t have towels so I just used a medicine ball instead of a plate. Equally as comfortable, equally as hard.

I wish i can increase my neck strength and durability for boxing
