Hey guys! A quick update on me! My ankle has pretty much fully recovered from the sprain (stupid basketball) so I'm back to hitting full body workouts again. In the meantime, I wanted to post this yoke workout as it's something I'm really trying to emphasize in my own training these days. I was actually SO sore after hitting this workout, so if you're looking for a new challenge, give it a shot! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Peace!
Hi Jeff my name is Christopher, great video as usual and since you research your topics very substantially it’s always refreshing to see, I would recommend Josh Bryant’s Texas TrapSaw Massacre, it is definitely something I would love to try if I didn’t work full time and if I had time.
Hey Jeff, thanks for the new video, and I hope your ankle feels 100% soon! As someone with a naturally thicker neck, and who has some mild issues with sleep apnea, would you recommend these neck exercises or no? I've heard too much mass around the neck can make sleep apnea worse.
Fast Question. I am deployed in the Middle East and don't have the neckflex (Getting one soon, looked AWESOME!!!!) So my question is do you do the neck exercises 2 ways 9Front and back) or 4 ways (Front, Back, Side, and Side)? I have been doing 25's all 4 ways 12-15. I see that I should do more as well. :-) Thanks a lot everyone!
Plated neck.curls. Neck flex reverse curls. Trap bar / wide shrugs. Upright cable row. Close grip incline bench Navy seal row? On floor skull crushers Shoulder butterflys. This correct?
Bought weight for home few days ago cuz gym and me are quite distanced and was looking for solid workout or just an idea of what to do with dumbbells for shoulders. Thanks
Is it necessary to reverse diet, considering that I have track diligently everything I have eaten, my bodyfat (on a scale, but I have used the same scale) and my weight for the past month and I was wondering what should I do? I don't think I should reverse diet, because I am still going to track everything and I know that with all my weight my calories are lower now, in my bmr, exercise being my tdee lower, because of my new weight, should i end my cut and puy my calories up in my new TDEE? Or should I do something else?
I really want to focus on getting more yoked, but i do not know how to implement this in my workout routine. I am doing a push pull legs split, this is overlapping with push (pecs, delts, triceps) and pull (traps). Maybe just add it as extra day when i am not sore? I need advice.
@@JeffNippard jeff i love you also can you make a small video showing how to do the upright row ? It doesnt have to be really high quality just something with good info so i dont fuck my shit up
Morpher I know that I’m 6 months late to this party but the best way to do upright rows safely is to start at a weight and volume you can tolerate, and progress sensibly over time. Assuming you’re not already overly uncomfortable with the movement, just start light & work your way up slow and steady over time, you’ll most likely be completely fine
Soooo should u superset shrugs with lateral raises or not? I could not understand whether "destroy" here means in a good way, or like bad (injury) way?
This is totally anecdotal but you can increase the intensity of neck extensions by doing them directly in front of the dumbbell rack, making sure to force eye contact w/ people in the mirror at peak contraction.
Seriously couldn't finish this video without thinking the same exact thing. The man takes the time to edit the screenshots of his sources into the video and underlines the quotes. Mad respect when he plugs other channels too.
The way Nippard is doing is more like a high pull than a regular upright row that we see the bros doing at the gym. And it's very similar with the high pull that Athlean X teached. But Athlean X did that with dumbbells...
I've tried Jeff's rope up right row. I have no idea how some people manage to incorporate that exercise cuz I'm left with aching shoulders after just trying once
I do them every now and then in the gym but generally im the same as you man thats why I bought the neck harness gear from ebay and I just put it on for a couple of sets 3 times a week and I've seen decent progress
So the best way is to add them as finishers to ur already made workout plan. If u really need work on say the neck u could even drop an exercise ur performing well. Apart from compound ones better to keep working on them. Remember he's using a rep range of 15-30 for neck so endurance. Endurance is a perfect finisher for strength training plans , e.g the 5 by 5
@@epicmonkeydrunk Is it though? It's worth noting that Alex Leonidas doesn't normally do this - he does his neck training on off-days (bear in mind, Alex only lifts twice a week).
@@alanfarquharhill it's how u want to plan ur training. If ur already in a middle of a plan, see it though to the end so u get the gain reward of consistency. Yet if u know these point Jeff explained r something u need/want to work on. add them too ur plan, its just has to be in a manner that works.
@@hemingway3508 the most sore my traps have ever been were from above the knee rack pulls... not saying that means they're the best thing ever. But they seemed to be very effective.
Bf3Pumba9887i I think the reopening will fall flat on their face. Do not despair. Work on what is in your control. Train mind, body, and, should it be your will, soul, and emerge the ubermench with tremors following your steps. 😈
I hate when that happens. Because girls ALWAYS remember when you don’t help them finish their set. And that’s when they start looking for other training partners.
There's something about the style, formatting and presentation of your videos which makes them immensely more helpful than so many others when it comes to providing fitness info. Probably because you're not yelling and there's no heavy metal. Its just science and evidence based practical information delivery. Love it. Thanks Jeff!
Deadlifts and overhead presses gains massive mass on my neck, i wasnt even trying to get a thick neck the first time my neck blow up. The great thing about a thick neck is that it gives you that look with a jumper on that you're yoked. While you could have a skinny neck and be yoked under the jumper, people will just think you're average. Downside to a thick neck is maintaining it, Take time off training and the first thing to go is the neck, with in a month.
List of these yoke exerxises . Neck Curls Barbell or Trap Bar Shrugs Rope Upright Row Closer Grip Incline Bench Seal Row / Chest Supported DB Row Floor Skullcrushers Butterfly Machine Lateral Raises (Lateral Raise)
“ Steak sauce!”or as sometimes to referred to as done by Nippard and colleagues in the Medicine and Science: Bro Edition as “A1” is when the initiating and completion an exercise movement occurs with proper body mechanics and trunk alignment to move the most weight the most efficiently by optimizing your bio mechanics and keeping the barbell path within your center of gravity.
Ok. Wow. Did this routine yesterday for my focus day, and my traps are on fire today. I had to do some extra mobility work today on my traps. I think doing the neck work first actually triggered my traps like never before. I immediately felt total engagement doing the barbell shrugs right after doing the neck work. Excellent video. Thanks, Jeff.
My traps are one of my best body parts, it's ALWAYS the first thing that people point out when commenting on my physique. All those years of carrying heavy ass backpacks during highschool and college really worked well lol.
alpha d got me onto neck training about 3 years ago. Everyone looked at me funny in the gym when i had the plate on my forehead. Now everyone is catching on and it's becoming more acceptable. Having a pencil neck is unacceptable imo.
Its because these neck excersises are fucking stupid. Direct neck work isnt needed for a thick neck, and its not exactly the safest shit in the world either.
@@OrphanCrippler1 i hear what youre saying but you still see plenty of gym bros with the bulging biceps and pecs with a retardedly out of proportion neck. The look doesnt work
All of these terms should be made technical. I want to know the exact differences between being yoked, swole, stacked, buff, jacked and built so I can correct people in the gym when they use them wrong. It's so I can feel superior to them even though they're bigger.
Also fucks up your nervous system. When you deadlift 500lbs but trapbar deadlift 900 it will really fuck up your fatigue and barely works better then shrugs.
Great video but please don’t quote Mike on traps. The only people who don’t need to train traps or neck are those on endogenous steroids because that part of your body has the highest androgen receptor affinity, thus removing the need to train them. Just look at Jeff’s neck progress over the the past couple of years. Mike does no neck training but *still* has a bigger neck than Jeff. Come on..
Yolked: Eat 20 eggs every day. Swole: Get stung by multiple bees. Jacked: Get lifted up in a garage or by Hugh Jackman. Shredded: Someone rubs a cheese grater on you until all your skin comes off. Buff: Someone rubs you with a some car polish in swift circles. Stacked: Sitting on top of someone else's shoulders.
5.23 you talk about using mind muscle connection doing the close grip incline press but in one of your videos you say its not important to use mind muscle connection on big lifts. I’m just curious what you think about this. Great video btw, keep it up.
My recommendation after 10 years of lifting try snatch grip shrug.. believe me your traps will be sore for 2 weeks after you do it for the first time.. donot do upright row.. it’s always not confortable for my shoulder even with trying more then 10 different form but all is complete sh*t
For someone who wants to workout and be healthy for the REST OF MY LIFE. Why tf would i risk doing upright rows when there's better exercises. Not worth it. High pulls and shrugs are incredible for me. Don't like the feel of upright rows
i like how on the side laterals he says he doesnt count the reps there. i also dont count reps when i do that exercise. not because i dont want to but because for some reason i lose count wicked fast doing those idk why lol
Instead of looking certain way (insecurity or sexual market value concern) Why not focus on getting as strong as you can, without gimmicks and unending list of exercises for each body part. Better to really be strong that to look strong.
Inspire yup .. I was cringing really hard at the "overpowering look" BS ... Let's not talk about the exercises , like why would anyone waste time and energy doing bastardised versions of the main lifts ? A row is a row , you don't row in 5 different styles depending on what you are trying to "emphasise"
@@authenticbaguette6673 Yes, better served by being strung as fuck in the big compounds, translatable to everything, also this is the one sensible real gold, fight frailty and sarcopenia and delay weakness and death. But that is just my opinion, and we know every dipshit has one :))
Jeff turns bro science and bro terms into peer reviewed scientific literature and medical terminology. I love hearing him explain the definition of “Yolked” the way he does haha
you are forgetting about your lats and waist also contributing to your width. Just make sure your neck and traps are proportional to the rest of your body.
This guy has like a normal body lol. Im trying to understand why his sub count is soo high. Maybe he's not taking steroids like the rest of them. His video production quality is on point and he seems to put a lot of effort in educating people. He could have also been featured on mainstream media outlets.

Okey I know I'm going against the grain here when I say this but...an average neck looks much more aesthetically pleasing for most people. I would personally never want a thick neck. Huge traps, back ect yes. Neck no. But hey if you want a thick neck go get it!
Jeff, I love your content! I was directed to your content via Shredded Sports Science, and yourself and Athlean X are where I take the majority of my RU-vid training information from. I just want to thank you for your honest and science-based content, and though I have not agreed with everything in every video, you are constantly giving me training concepts to consider and/or modify and include in my training and nutrition planning. Your transparency on sponsorships and affiliates is great to see as well!
