I suffered a concussion 6 months ago and all my muscles just disappeared. My body got so weak that my neck and throat muscles had a hard time holding my head up which resulted in pain... strange. Anyway, it was then I began working my neck through similar exercises as in this video. I then realised how important it was. Training the neck will be with me for the rest of my life. Liked the video!
Thorne synquell+ and Thorne creatine 3-5grams a day coupled with hydration anti inflammatory foods and full spectrum cannabis or cbd will get you back to normal by normal I mean brain repair and scarring. You probably feel normal now though given the time of your comment but the effects still linger and you’re prone to easier concussions after your bell is rung.
I started doing this a little over a month ago. I use bands about every five days. I'm 82 and have noticed the loose skin us old farts have under our chins, has gotten smaller. I didn't have this in mind when I started. I started because I was having a hard time turning my head far enough sometimes to see oncoming traffic. All I can say is that it works. I do 15 to 25 reps on all four sides. I am still a little reluctant to go to a bigger bands but I am starting to think about it. I have trained for over sixty years three to four times a week, but never any neck work. So far so good. I would recommend it.
The towel neck crunches have made the biggest change to my face and posture. A good few weird looks in the gym or people coming over and asking if I do contact sports. Wrestlers and boxers do this.
@@FTSsjc your face sits on bone and muscle. Like your peck muscles or biceps, you can build up your face muscles and increase your face bone density. This changes your face shape (in a good way)
I do the towel-biting crunch as well and it hits the jaw muscles as well so it's a great exercise for both training the neck and improving your jawline.
Great video. I started working out my neck a few weeks ago and gained about a half inch. Definitely helps with that “fuller” look and better posture for sure!
The upper traps are huge, there is no way you're challenging them with any weight that you can hold with your teeth. Literally just buy a head harness for 20€.
Hope you see this comment! Crazy you mentioned that self assurance cause it is one the workouts that actually increases your bodies androgen receptor sensitivity thereby causing more physical and psychological expression of testosterone (confident)
fun fact: andrew huberman actually did thai boxing for several years and even had a few fights. I wonder if he got the idea to train his neck from martial arts?
Towel biting neck extensions make about as much sense as deadlifts with the weight attached to your balls. Your upper traps can lift many times more than what you can hold with your teeth.
Going to add this to my training. Always have been self conscious about my neck after having radiation therapy for hodgkins disease when I was 17. Received treatment in my neck and chest area. It's hard to find a definitive answer if I would have permanent muscle atrophy in those areas. I'm sure it's not good, but hopefully training my neck couldn't be a bad thing for many of the benefits you mentioned even if can't achieve the full asthetic aspect I was hoping to accomplish.
Just start out light. So light that you barely feel anything. You can always work up to a higher weight friend. I always proceed cautiously when it comes to the neck. GOOD LUCK FRIEND
I would not do it with that huge range of motion. I would do it with static holds. Spine, especially neck doesn't like range of motion while under load
If you get a boxing head guard and cable tie a weight plate to the top, then the can get a good neck workout. Warning,- don’t use it like this for sparring
Love the towel in mouth. Excellent And strengthens the bite for fighting. No complaints please Im on about street defence. Thanks fo ace vid. Been trying different neck training at home This is perfect.
Pain t-shirts would look a lot better on you if you got developed neck, traps and forearms. You'll look like an underground Victorian era bare knuckle fighter.
With the towel biting neck extensions, it is a lot safer to bite down with your molars rather than incisors. The molars can withstand much more force. So put either end of the towel on the sides of the neck rather than the front.
I always find it hard to hold the plate against my head with the right amount of pressure. I have always done the neck rolls from the football days. They work too
@@ahmarammar4024 I don't think that's a reason to not grow it. If training volume and tension is enough (even if variable) you can still get stronger and grow. I am sure ive a thicker neck than when I started 8 months ago. And I'm probably stronger on it too.
@RDD87z But bro, where is the progressive overload. You have to increase the weight with time, and sometimes, you might be going easier and sometimes harder it wouldn't create enough stimulus to build strength and muscle. I mean, you wouldn't get that much benefit from using your hands rather than adding resistance via weights or simply gravity. If you're seeing the results, then good for you, but I wouldn't do that.
You can do the same kind of training especially the sides if you just apply pressure with your hand against the side of your head and tilt your head to the side for reps.
Awesome video. Didn’t know how to do a neck exercise so this vid really helped me. Gonna train it in 20 minutes for the first time in my life😅 thx again
dont bother with sides its too dangerous, u can do the front plate crunch and for back do the harness OR just do heavy barbell shrugs which work the upper trap and back of the neck very well.
Neck feels better overall when it doesn't get super sore from training anymore, I agree. Even it doesn't grow that much within a month or a year, it will get a bit bloated from training regularly which gives it a bigger look already, if that is what you aim for.
I started training my neck, maybe a week and a half half ago and I can definitely attest to feeling like my neck is stronger now and I’m able to stand up straighter
Neck training is super important..but not this One...because is isolanted and Linear..so its ONLY good for estétics..not for performance..i like MuayThai..but long term this maby Will make cervical Issues.. wrestling neck training i think is more efective In my opinion
Yes, your teeth can move around, you'll fuck up your teeth alignment and you may weaken their position in the gums so a hit to the face will send them flying.
Ah yes the cervical spine hernia protocol. Good luck with that. All of the exercises for a thicker neck have an amazing potential for long-term damage. Also, the thing they don't tell you is how athletes like wrestlers often need surgery for cervical spine issues due to neck bridges.
If you use correct technique and dont go to hardcore with weights or reps, why not everyday. Its like the one bodypart that is always at work whether you are sitting down or standing up. It needs to be strong. And dont forget to warm it up a bit and stretch it before and after. You dont even have to use weights or a bench. You can do all those exercises in front of the mirror, using only your hands/palms as resistance too. But remember, be mindful of technique. Dont pull/push too far. Start slow and light, and feel your way, and look in the mirror for correct posture. Then add pressure. I have set it as a routine after brushing my teeth (to remember it) and it takes about 10-15 minutes, and then your head rests like a baby on the pillow.
If you find a way not to risk them slapping you in the face, sure :) Honestly, I found it hard to do it. It slips of the head, etc. Better to use just your hands, lying on the floor/bench using gravity, or weights.
Your low back and neck should be strengthend by reseistibg motion and holding it in a neutral posture not doing something like crunches. Its scientifically proven crunches are bad for the spine.
