Today I will discuss some neck workouts you can use to strengthen your neck and make your neck bigger. As many of you are aware I am a big fan of Convict Conditioning. Fairly recently Convict Conditioning 2 was released and spoke about how to strengthen the neck using some old school neck workouts.

It recommends you are able to do the full repetitions of the full bridge in Convict Conditioning 1, which I am now able to do, so went ahead and started doing some neck workouts. But before I show you some videos of me performing the Convict Conditioning 2 workouts, let me tell you why strengthening your neck can be quite important.
Why Build Your Neck Using Neck Workouts?
It is the one muscle on your body that is on show the whole time of the year. Other muscles can be covered up by clothes, but you rarely see a guy wearing a jumper that covers their neck unless they have bad fashion. Other than aesthetic reasons building your neck using neck workouts has the added benefit of reducing injury to this area if you are an athlete. Boxers and wrestlers especially train their neck. It also allows you to take a punch to the jaw better as your head will be more sturdy, but do try to block the punch instead of taking one. Kurt Angle the former olympic champion and former WWE wrestler had a bad ass neck which came in at around 20 inches.

These two neck workouts I am about to describe, will be all you need to build an awesome functional neck, front, back and sides. These neck workouts aren’t totally essential if you follow the big 6 from Convict Conditioning, especially the Bridging Series. However if you are involved in heavy contact sports like MMA, boxing, wrestling, rugby, american football or just want to look like you have pythons crawling out of your collar, do try the following neck exercises.

I love the videos you put up. The neck is a body part that gets very little attention. I think most people assume if they get their traps fully developed it will make up for the lack of neck size/strength.
I like the fact that it lets you take a punch better
