At the peak of my neck training, I did three sets of curls, extensions, and side raises three times per week, which took around ten minutes per workout.

One set of neck exercise twice per week has been shown to dramatically increase neck strength over the course of several months. Neck exercises are not only beneficial for neck strength, but also functional flexibility and neck pain as well.

A recent study by Schoenfeld did just that. He had one group training their muscles once per week using a push/pull/legs split, and the other half training their muscles 3 times per week using full-body workouts. Both groups did 3 workouts per week, and both did the same number of exercises and sets, giving them the same overall training volume.

Fortunately, neck training is a safe and effective way to build a thicker neck. There are three main movements that will help us build bigger neck muscles: The Neck Curl trains the sternocleidomastoid (and other neck muscles), making our neck thicker when viewed from the front.
