Huberman Lab Clips
How & why to build a stronger neck: - Wrap a 5 lb plate in a towel, lie on a bench, and work all four directions: flexion, extension, and lateral on both sides. Slow and controlled, no explosiveness. - Start with one round and wait a day, "I guarantee you're going to be sore." - Neck training won't bulk up the neck the way trap work does. The deep neck muscles simply don't grow to large proportions. - Back pain during crunches is often a neck strength problem, not a core problem. Women are especially undertrained here. - A strong neck is also protective: "You become not only just resilient, but potentially life-saving by having a stronger neck." @trainer2thepros on @hubermanlab
