I got this role because I post applicable knowledge in relation to a threadi've had one paragraph threads stickied before, jfl at the schizo policies of this forum
Np fellow neck-celwas looking for a thread like this today thanks
I believe it, Mike was very young when he broke his own neck doing neck bridges lolThe neck plays an important role in having a masculine DOM look

Unironically twink vs Chad
The ideal ratio for the neck is .95-1 neck to bigonial ratio
View attachment 2861587
Basically a 1-1 which is slightly wide but not really a failo

Heres another ideal neck, long and thick, Saint Tyler Maher
Usually if you have a small skull or narrow skull your skull will be proportional automatically.
If you are blessed/curse with a large wide skull you will have to hypertrophy the neck
View attachment 2861596
I believe that the ideal neck width to height ratio is about 1.35 measured from the anterior mandible/bottom of the ramus to the intersection of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the scalene major
View attachment 2861597
As you can see the intersection of the 2 separates the trans and the neck musculature
@thecel will have to give his opinion on the ideal neck ratio as there isnt any guidance from lookism
Now that you understand the anatomy and ratios, here's how you most optimally hypertrophy the neck

The expression of androgen receptors in human neck and limb muscles: effects of training and self-administration of androgenic-anabolic steroids - PubMed
The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of androgen receptors (AR) in human vastus lateralis and trapezius muscles and to determine whether long-term strength training and self-administration of androgenic-anabolic steroids are accompanied by changes in AR...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
As you can see the neck has a greater AR content than the rest of the body
View attachment 2861615
And studies suggest that higher AR content means more muscular endurance, now we can speculate that training the neck with more volume frequently is ideal rather than low volume high intensity training

Mike Tyson was a believer in the high volume theory and was quoted saying he performed 500 neck curls per day, UNREAL.
-My current split
My current neck-maxxing split has been to lie off the side of my bed with about 1/3 of my body hanging off the side (neck obviously)
And doing 4 sets of neck curls to failure everyday
I follow it up by 4 sets of reverse neck curls to failure, turning my body to be positioned on my stomach
Then finally 4 sets of lateral neck curls with my body sideways (4 on each side)
I have also been doing 4 sets of shrugs to failure EOD alongside this
Water, but androgens are more efficacous for neck hypertrophy (more AR more binding so more gains obv)
theres roles on this site?got this role
don't do this so i could choke your pencil neck when I rob ur lunch moneythis is motivating me to train neck finally
