C-ditty,
Try my neck routine:
Go into a boxing gym in Compton. Put on a full padded helmet. Talk loudly and constantly about how you've heard that the "brothers" can't hit as hard as great white boxers like Botha... and that it'll probably be a long string of white guys who will hold the heavyweight title for the next 20 years... or maybe a skinny Asian guy who bumps up in weight. Then shadow box with fancy Steve Martin foot work while singing Peter Gabriel's I WANT TO BE YOUR SLEDGEHAMMER. Pretty soon a couple guys who weight about 240lbs will ask you if you want to lace up and go a few rounds. Tell them YES... but mention that you will have to go easy on them 'cuz you are a VERY experienced boxer and have studied all of the Don King Home Boxing Classes video tapes... watched some of the tapes three times. Then, ask the guys, "Is this an uppercut?" - while you are throwing a lousy right hook... and look confused.
...After you've been in the ring with these guys for about 5 rounds... believe me... you will have had the best neck workout of your life... mostly from your neck trying to hold your head onto your body.
