Something that you won’t find often mentioned in nearly every bodybuilding periodical and website is neck training. A lot of beginners will usually only concentrate on their chest, arms, and back, this is because these groups are the most popular to show off. When bodybuilders finally become more advanced and start training other muscle areas, some trends emerge which allow the desire for specialized neck training.

Some exercises that can put unbearable pressure on the neck are dead lifts, rows, and shrugs.
