That works the top of the trap muscles. Things where you tuck your chin to your chest work the sterno.

I honestly just said that muscle because its.my favorite to say

Yeah, I figured as much. It's got a nice ring to it. You could put bands on your forehead and the other end attached to something.

Another dudes forehead. It's like tug of war. Except the winner gets smacked in the back of the head with a resistance band so it's a bit of a lose-lose situation.

The most insane neck workout I've ever had to do was simply hold my head off the ground, lying on my back, while wearing an old Kevlar helmet. Neck was sore for 3-4 days.

 

[Leancuisine]

And not just like your little discomfort sore... I'm talking like picking up my head so I could adjust my position on my pillow was an insane task that drained me of all willpower and hope

 

[insaiyan93]

Im gonna go ahead and skip the neck workouts altogether, but i appreciate the advice none the less haha

In all seriousness tho I feel like the traps really tie in a man's physique.
If someone has a monstrous pair of sloping traps, you know he's as strong as a bull

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Pete Rubish level traps would be ideal. 2/3 of that even.

 

[insaiyan93]

Oh yeah i love traps. Im definitely gonna work those, just not my actual neck, which as i said is already too thick, any thicker and id just look silly lol

Good workout, helped this fix his deadlift form because he was rounding the shit out of his back and i just couldnt sit there and watch him fuck his back up, luckily he wasnt a douche and was receptive to my advice.

Shoulders still hurting on chest exercises kept it light on the presses but 185 actually felt heavy, squats felt great my bench seems to be the only thing that has been affected drastically by being off and losing weight, it sucls but im glad its just bench and not everything. Good workout. 10/10 eould do again.

I had horrible shoulder pain while benching. I narrowed my grip and fixed it.
Also for incline bench I use smith now. No pain.

I already use a fairly narrow grip as im stronger like that, incline actually hurt less than flat surprisingly.
