Improving neck girth

[meat11]

What are the best exercises to make our neck more girthy? I want to get a bigger neck.

Presses, cleans, shrugs. And direct neck exercises.

traps are going to be genetic but cleans will def help

Google neck strap - buy - use it sparingly.

I thought he meant neck not traps specifically.
For neck I would use that harness thing and there are also all kinds of head stand exercises these wrestlers do so maybe google those.

The so-called 'wrestlers bridge'. It can, if done wrong, fuck you up.

You domt need to do any direct neck work. It's like forearm work. Not needed. Just lift big and heavy and do all the big compound movements. Both push and pull. Forearms and neck both grow accordingly.

I guarantee you the guy that deadlifting 500 lbs regularly will outgrow the shit on both forearms and neck out of somebody doing foo foo neck exercises with a 25lb plate or doing 20lb wrist curls

I'd say true but... only if, as so many do not, you ditch the damn straps too many use too often. I, of course, do do direct forearm and grip strength work.

Do the exercises football players do. Those guys give gigantic necks.

Absolutely agree 100%. I havent used straps in years. Make your forearms do the work
