Neck muscle training program method

　　Once you can complete 2 sets healthy . Now it’s time to move on to the next stage and try out the standard grades of both neck bridges. Standard neck bridges are all advanced skills, so don’t worry if you can’t practice them at first. There are many ways to master them over time.

　　If the standard wrestling neck bridge is too difficult, go back to the novice level, but only use one arm (for balance development, please take turns using both hands). Gradually reduce the stress on your arms, and soon you'll be able to let go—complete with a standard wrestling neck bridge. The front neck bridge is more difficult and requires an all-around strong neck. If you can easily complete the rookie level front neck bridge, but the standard level front neck bridge is too difficult, then use your hands to assist when you first start practicing the standard level.

　　As you practice each week, gradually reduce the stress on your arms until you can let go of your hands and complete the standard front cervical bridge. You only have one neck, so neck training must be done slowly. If you are unable to perform the movement safely and slowly, then you must use the techniques I have described to assist you. Putting your neck under sudden pressure or strain is not the way to make it stronger; it will only destroy your neck. Once you are able to complete the standard level neck bridge, then center on the standard level and reduce

　　Less rookie-level neck bridge exercises - one set each of the rookie-level wrestling neck bridge and the rookie-level front neck bridge, each set of 20 repetitions, is a good warm-up.

　　Next is a set of standard wrestling neck bridges and a set of standard front neck bridges. The number of repetitions in each set does not need to be too high. As your neck gets stronger, gradually increase the number of repetitions of standard neck bridges. Again, upgrades must be done slowly. Continue until you can complete two sets of 20 repetitions of each standard neck bridge. At this point, your neck training is already very advanced, and your training plan should be as follows:

　　first group (Warm-up) Rookie-level wrestling neck bridge 1X20

　　Group 2 (Warm-up) Rookie Level Front Neck Bridge 1X20

　　Group 3 (Training) Standard Wrestling Neck Bridge 1X20

　　Group 4 (Training) Standard front neck bridge 1X20

　　Group 5 (Training) Standard Wrestling Neck Bridge 1X20

　　Group 6 (Training) Standard front neck bridge 1X20

　　Don't underestimate the difficulty and value of this training program just because it looks simple. Although these exercises should take less than fifteen minutes to complete, this is truly a masterclass neck training program. Remember, building muscle and strength depends on intensity (continuously getting stronger) rather than total training volume (continuously extending the time).

　　This training plan should last you a long time. As you get stronger, it will become easier to increase the number of reps and resist the urge to grab dumbbells or plates to add extra weight during exercises. What you should do is try to increase your range of motion. Adding extra weight will only increase the chance of injury, but increasing the range of motion will gradually strengthen the deep muscles of the neck, making the cervical spine flexible and strong. If you get to this point—and few lifters do—put the last two sets of your training

　　(i.e. the fifth and sixth sets) are reserved to try to expand the range of motion.

　　This will ensure those neck muscles are red-hot before you ravage them aggressively. Expanding the range of motion of the Wrestling Neck Bridge will take some time and will only occur if you are comfortable performing the neck exercises listed above.

　　Only after planning can you start trying. At first, in the starting position of the standard wrestling neck bridge, you can only let the top of your head touch the floor, but as you work harder, you will find that the contraction of your neck muscles will cause your head to turn farther and farther back. Eventually, you will be able to turn your head back until your forehead touches the floor and supports your weight. This is a very advanced skill, but if you keep working hard you can do it one day.

　　Expanding the range of motion of the anterior cervical bridge is not too difficult. Start with your body almost directly above your head. As your neck becomes stronger, gradually increase the distance between your head and feet. This puts more pressure on the neck and allows the muscles on the front of the neck to work more in all positions exercise . Don't push too hard at first, using your hands to assist with the movement if needed.

　　Until the distance between your head and feet is almost two-thirds of your height, then follow the four steps to exercise the muscles in all directions of the neck and increase the number of repetitions. Eventually, your neck will be as strong as Superman. Don't forget to also practice increasing your lateral range of motion to maintain muscle balance. Start with the angle shown in the picture of the standard front neck bridge, and then gradually increase it. When I practice the standard front neck bridge and turn my head to the side, I am able to put my ears on the ground and then push back to the balanced position. You don’t actually have to be like me, but you can also regard that state as the goal of your future efforts.
