Hey all, I've been weight training for about a year now. I've been eating healthy and having about 2500 of good calories a day. My legs and upper body is getting bigger but I noticed that my neck is still narrow. I was wondering how you can get your neck bigger? Open to any suggestions. Thanks.

Your neck should be pretty muscular as is, because you're constantly shaking your head when you get shut down by 100's of gross broads. :up:

Very good question! I wish I knew a good exercise for the neck.
Here is some neck exercises:

Most of them are not easy to do: they require a weird strap.
Probably the easiest one is:
Lying Face Down Plate Neck Resistance

Without a good deal of resistance, I guess you are talking about the cardio for the neck :) Which can only make it thinner.
Don't go for the gross broads...

Thats not true at all, cardio does build muscles, i only od cardio on my legs, no weight training, and i have substantial muscle from the cardio. Obviously if you want to be huge then you need large weights but you can build ample amounts of muscle with cardio.

As for the original question i have found that doing situps has increased the size of my neck from 34cm to 36cm because you have to hold your head steady during situps.

With regards to neck cardio... I found that banging my head against a wall in intervals of 30 bangs on, 30 off has worked best for me.

I use to do neck exercises and use a "neck strap" (wow, that thing really sucked).

Then I realized that there are other more effective ways (and probably less dangerous). Do shrugs, military presses, and pullups.

Another great neck developer is jiu-jitsu or wrestling. Getting out of all those locks and submissions will definately give you a workout.

I don't recall where I heard this from, but I remember a few guys remarking that their neck grew in response to their body growth. They worked their traps a lot and a lof of compound like deadlifts and squats.

They told me that they wanted their necks to shrink because it was getting too big.

A thick neck gives the illusion of looking bigger. Plus you're able to handle a lot more force on it. A skinny neck does the opposite.

SHRUGS,
HEAVY shrugs.
Do enough of these, and you will be set.
