I have had an ACDF operation on my C5 and C6 which are now fused 3 years ago. Is it safe for me to these exercises Jeff? Thank you for your time
When the uploader gets invited to Huberman Lab, you know you are on the right channel 😉 Thanks Jeff for all the years of advice on these type of excersizes (including saving my back).
Ty Very informative 😎🤙🏼

I just want to make my neck a little bigger because it's weak just like Jeff said. It got wrecked and stretched from bad posture, office work, old sports injuries from high school etc. and now it's weak and puny. I have some cervical instability, arthritis/stiffness, and also have some bone spurs. I'm going to do these exercises without the plates. I don't want to be a bodybuilder or train like an athlete, I just want to +1 my neck. Thank you Athlean-X!
At 45 training since 15 and any intense sport as a man you can think of this channel is GOD. Re injured a neck disc injury. Therapist does traction and stim. Walks out the room taking about football. Returns and I start asking him exercise advice( avoided back fusion just from diet and certain exercises). Guy says there are NO exercises for your neck. Lmfao. Never went back. Who are these “therapists”?
Very intelligent guy! Thanks
"God demonstrated his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
Because we were hopelessly seperated from Him by our sins, God proved his immeasurable love for us by sending his son, Jesus Christ, to suffer sin's death penalty IN OUR PLACE. Now, through faith in him, we can enter into an unbreakable, covenant relationship with our Holy Creator. This includes absolute forgiveness of sins, the gift of his indwelling Holy Spirit to comfort, empower and guide us, and his guarantee of eternal life. That's for starters!
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ Our Lord."
Romans 6:23
"Call on me, and I will answer you, and show you amazing things you have never known." Jeremiah 33:3

I complete about 8 sets of 15 reps with a 10 pound plate on my forehead (flexion) every 3 days. How many sets/reps of all 4 movements should one do for neck mass? And how many days a week should this routine be completed?
Nicely explained
