Many lifters neglect developing neck muscles, but if you want to be
fully in a great shape, you must build a strong neck too. Neck is also
one of muscle groups, so why would you neglect it? In some high sports
neck is a necessity, while it’s often the weakest link in the strength
chain. Neck is a weak structure by nature, so that you have to make it
stronger. Having a strong neck will make your lifts easier.
All of us have woken up in the morning with a stiff neck, feeling so much pain. Have you ever wondered why you have this pain only in neck, but not in other muscles? The answer is so easy. You train almost all your muscle groups, but you don’t train your neck well enough.
The most important thing in neck workouts is not to try to lift more than you can. Of course, you can have many ambitions and try to kick yourself every time you workout, but if you get a neck injury, it can cause the most inconvenience and pain.
Before performing weight resistance training, start with good stretching for your neck
Chin to chest stretch will be a perfect start for your training.
