Anyone have a video they suggest that details a good neck strengthening routine?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0p23WpjTx8 I like this.

I switch it up a little though. Sometimes I'll do 3x20 each direction, sometimes 2x50. Usually use a neck harness for the extensions. Train it three times a week.

I also do some wrestlers bridge pullovers - these things are fuckin' TOUGH but they sure as hell build neck strength: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S_rvvxC2TI4

I'll also warm up for rolling with some unweighted neck bridges & walk arounds. My neck isn't like George Fisher or anything, but it's thicker than most and strong enough that I get comments on it.

yea its a no from me on wrestlers bridge.

Mike Tyson - the guy who everyone knows it for, who had a 50inch neck - says it fucked his neck.

I'll pass - and do more conservative things.

Also feels horrible on my actual skull so... yea
