    Does training your neck help....

    ...men like this to actually withstand this flying piledrive on his head, and even to come back and win this fight?

    Yes.

    If I were to start from scratch as a young 13 year old again, I would do every press, squat, and perhaps deadlifts, for my entire career with chains. -- Dan John

    How do you guys train your neck? I've heard that bridges are dangerous. What I do is I lay my back down on the floor and lift up my head and move it around a lot in different directions. Then, I get up on my hands and knees and do some more neck curls and what not.

    A lot of people like wrapping a towel around their neck and holding it with their hands, while moving their neck to provide for resistance.

    At some gyms especially ones that have many football players, they have a machine specifically for your neck. You can do weighted neck curls both front/rear and left/right

    I've never done neck exercises but mine has grown about an inch and a half just with shrugs and deadlifts.
    Best way to cheat on deadlifts...

    Stand there for a few minutes, then pace back and forth a lot, huff and puff, wait until everybody's looking. Approach the bar. Back off. Approach it again. Back off. Get some water. Chalk up. Approach the bar again. Then spray some more chalk around. Wait until people start losing interest. When nobody's looking, pick it a little off the floor, and slam it down. Jump up and yell "LIGHT WEIGHT BABY". Then give high fives all around. - Belial
