growing neck

[Snap87]

Hey. I know that when you bulk, you get bigger basically everywhere. But does your neck grow too? i have fairly small, skinny neck that even girls can wrap their hands around. Are you supposed to do neck exercises, if so, what are they? If not, do they just grow naturally along with your other bodyparts while bulking?



THANKS!

Yes. It's not going to be huge gains. Working the traps, upper back and neck specifically all help out in neck thickness.

Deadlifts are good, rows are good, these 2 do the traps well.

The neck itself, do neck bridges.
Basically, you lie on your back, lift your whole self up on the crown of your head and hold that position as long as you can, or rock back and forth, side to side, whatever. You can do the same thing with your body face down too.
Look them up on google if you want a pic to understand.

Shoulder raises work. I believe it's a boxing training technique. hold a dumb bell in each hand and shrug your shoulders. That works your neck a bit. But yes, over time, your neck will tend to thicken

 

[MrS]

Yes, they do it in boxing, but usually with a barbell.
But neck bridges are for the neck particularly and used in boxing.

The fact that girls can wrap their hands around it, doesn't necessarily mean it's skinny. I have really small hands, but I can wrap my hands around my neck easily with every finger being able to touch one of the other hand. And my neck is no skinny at all, it's around 15", which is pretty average I think.
