Neck Reps
Hey I was thinking about working out my neck, by laying on a bench and taking weights and placing them on my forehead and going up and down. By doing this how many reps should I do? 20?

You going to be working you neck flexors with that exercise. If you go with 20 reps, you will be building local muscular endurance. Lower the reps into the 8-12 range for hypertrophy work. If you really want to hypertrophy the neck, I would go with compound exercises like the deadlift and squat. These will hypertrophy the neck more than any isolation exercise.

A neck machine would be a better option than the plate on the forehead method. Problem is, not many gyms have them. In my experiences, the single-joint exercise that got my neck the thickest was shrugs.

Thanks for the info, I was curious b/c my 3 gyms dosen't have one and I want a nice beefy neck =) I did the exercise I gave at 6-8 reps and I gained 1/2 in. when I flex my neck. But I never gained any inches after that, I thought it was the reps. And shrugs don't seem to be working. But I guess I will just stick to the shrugs and what not. THanks!

Having high test levels will also lead to thickening of the neck. It will give you the pitbull look.

Try to let the deadlifts, shrugs and test levels thicken your neck. They are only small muscles and will not respond well to these direct exercises, also you don't want to badly injure your neck

What would you know about working your neck?!?
Besides I'm not talking about soreness, I'm talking about nipping a bloody nerve and causing paralysis of some bodypart!
