i used to have a neck.......long long time ago
God i dont even know... im guessing 25 or so flexed.
I am 16, weight is about 150, and my neck is 17 5/16. that a 5/16 gain in about 2 weeks, incase anyone read my older thread and it says 17.
my neck is about 18 1/5 flexed, just easured it now, wimpy I know... Thats good progress... I think I mentioned my neck size in your old post too. Don't remember whatit was ten tho, 18+ I think I said. BDTR, I'd be interested to know what your neck size is for sure, if your right thats HUGE!
185# here and just measured mine... my tape measure said 15.5 but I only comfortably wear a 16.5 to 17 inch shirt collar size (buttoned for tie). I thought my neck had been getting bigger on steroids, I was self measuring 14 to 14.5 before my cycle, which I am on 10th week now. I gotta go see how that affects my navy method body fat percentage since neck size is factored in their calculations. My measurements are unflexed.Quote:

Mine only measures 18.5 unflexed... something I gotta work on!
If I am not mistaken, neck size directly reflects your frame size. Different size bone frame is why some people look shredded with 4% body fat with 36 inch waists and others have to have 31 inch waist to achieve same body fat percentage. ALso each of our ideal "well built" weight is different. Some people look like they have twice the muscle at 180 lbs then a big framed guy weighing 230 lbs. I think this is why neck and waist size are factored in the navy method for determining body fat.Quote:

You can measure short if you drop the back down below shoulderblades.
I measured mine like a choker, does that mean it's realy bigger? Cuz that would be super!
Ya right across the ol' adams apple sounds about the right spot to measure it.
choker style
Because i measured mine across my adams apple, does that mean it is actually larger than 17 5/16? Did some of us measure incorectly?Quote:

I think its measured choker style but measuring tape supposed to rest along collar bone and not across adam's apple... This is where the Navy method wants the neck to be measured at so the measurement is supposed to double for necksize/collarsize for shirts.Quote:

What they see in my x-rays alone could have earned me lifetime dissability without having to testify that my neck hurts but guess what? It really dont hurt one bit, never cashed in any fake insurance claims or law suits on it... in fact I put a new roof on my house ALONE just 5 months after the accident but I guess after that it did start hurting enough for about a year that I had to quit working out... I was 190# back then and the lack of working out let me drop my weight down to embarrassing low levels that I am still trying to rebuild to.Quote:

Whatcha gonna do brother.......
20,5 flexed and 18,5 relaxed. Still a teenager.
