Strengthening and mobilizing your neck muscles is a vital yet often overlooked aspect of training. Whether you’re an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or simply looking to improve posture and reduce tension, incorporating neck exercises into your routine can provide significant benefits, from enhancing performance to reducing the risk of injuries. This page aims to deliver a comprehensive breakdown of exercises targeting the sternocleidomastoid and splenius muscles, two key components of neck strength and stability.
Our goal is to offer detailed guidance on a wide variety of exercises, including equipment-based options such as cable, lever (plate-loaded or selectorized), and weighted movements, as well as bodyweight, band-resistive, isometric, and stretch-based exercises for those with minimal equipment. Additionally, advanced techniques like prone neck bridges and suspended exercises are included to help you maximize functional strength and mobility. Regardless of your fitness level or training goals, this page is designed to equip you with the tools needed to build a strong, resilient neck.
