    The full post: www.thebioneer.com/neck-train...
    In this video, I discuss neck training: what is it for, how does it work, and why do you need it in your life?
    Neck training helps to add size and prevents the "Ned Flanders effect" (where you look skinny when wearing a shirt, even if you're actually jacked!). It can also help to prevent concussion by keeping your head steady.
    More interestingly though, neck training can also help you to move more quickly, to better track objects on the horizon, and to experience greater stability and balance. It even aids with breathing and the transmission of signals!
    Neck training is therefore about much more than just neck curls. In this video I discuss those options, as well as neck bridges (yay or nay?), isometric training, ballet training and more. Enjoy!

    It is also possible to find a corner, fold a towel, and lean at whichever degree you are safe and comfortable with, and lean your head against the folded towel, against the wall, and perform neccessary repetitions. Thanks for another great video (and amazing book, (seriously, anyone else reading this needs to buy it, if you want a century worth of the best training, laboriously researched from the best of the best in the field)).

      There have been times I used a resistance band while sitting down place the band around your head while your holding 2 ends at the front then rep up if that makes sense.
      I also do 10 sets with 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds rest .. I use an interval timer app to set that up. I now do it's 1-2 times a week which I find a sweet spot for me .. hope this helps 😁

    An neck exercise I want to mention is one I do regularly is for rotation. Use a medicine ball and lay back on a bench as you would if doing neck curls. Actually you can do this on the ground too.
    Put the ball against your head and roll your head from right to left, and back, using your hands to guide the ball and keep it above your head. ( So the ball will be rolling from one side of your head to the other side as your head turns of course)
    Wear a toque if its uncomfortable. It's a bit tricky but good. I'm actually using a coffee can with some wrist weights in it at the moment lol..easy to adjust the weight.
    Great video. Cheers.

    Thanks for the cool video. I have neck issues for many years and I experimented a lot. You’ve missed out on diagonal rotation> e.g. lay on your back and look towards your shoulder. Then turn your head to the front and at the same time bring your chin towards your sternum. Do this slowly and feel every vertebra doing it’s part of the motion. Do it seperately for left and right. And do it for all 4 quadrants, like start with a straight head and curl your nose up towards your shoulder. And then the same for the back of the neck, laying face down.
    On the relaxing bit, I like to add drawing a vertical 8 with my nose.

  • @tomludlam4349

    Really good advice here. A couple of things I get people to do is keeping the head still whilst moving the trunk underneath it (I.e. looking at a screen whilst rotating the chair you're on). And reactive training - one of the most important thing the neck musculature does is resist forces trying to move the head. So getting someone else (who's not too mean!) To try and push your head in various directions whilst you try to maintain a constant position can be really helpful for injury prevention in basically any contact sport.

    Another good neck workout we use in Martial arts is using a resistance band/loop. loop one end around a stable fixed point and put your head in the loop on the other end and do a couple of sets of "curls" in every direction.The more resistance you feel you need, the further you stretch the band between your head and the point the band is looped onto. But if anybody here does try this, please make sure you dont loop the end around something that can come loose like a cup hook or some kind of wall embedded hardware. I think we all remember the video of the kid using resistance bands in front of his fish tank. rather loop one end around something like a pillar or the side of a pullup bar or squat rack. Also if you're on a budget you can use a bicycle inner tube cut down to your optimal resistance.

    I found out I have arthritis and degenerative disc in my neck while in the military. Regular neck training keeps things in check.

      and what are the strengrh training exercises for neck which do not carry the risk of hurting the discs even further?
      Like there are glute bridges for the lower back, what are some for the neck?

    What I like so much about neck training so much is that it helps you take punches to the face better 🥊👊💯

    Adam Ondra, widely considered the worlds best rock climber, has a really good neck. Eric Horst wrote an article with a bit about how adam uses his long neck as a pendulum. Coincidence?

    the inertia experienced on the neck from running is probably greater than the force of the weight used with the strap.
