Worked and strong neck muscles are not only a testimony to the strength and beauty of a man, but also an important sign that their owner is seriously engaged in his body. Proper workouts will allow you to harmoniously pump the neck, avoiding general imbalances in relation to the body and injuries.
Preparation for exercise
The question » How to properly pump the neck?»maybe a little premature. Now the main thing is to understand how to stretch it correctly, because without this ritual you can cause a lot of harm to your body.
For comfortable and most importantly safe training, before it is necessary to perform several exercises that certainly will not cause you difficulties:
- Tilt of the head to the sides; rotation.
- Stretching the neck, tilting the head to the sides, forward and back with your hands.
- Diagonal inclinations of the head.
Sequential execution of these exercises with the calculation of 10 repetitions for each will avoid injuries during training, as well as painful sensations after it. They should be performed slowly and in a measured way, feeling a pleasant stretching of each muscle, fixing the position at the peak point. By the way, it is important to remember that you need to repeat the complex after the class to avoid shortening of the neck muscles (serious consequence, leading to many chronic diseases in the future).
Pumping of the neck without additional shells
Here are simple exercises that do not require additional projectiles. With correct, slow and measured execution, you will be able to pump the neck muscles at home.
- Resistance to head rotation. We press the hand against the chin and hold it in such a way that when we turn the head to the side, it encounters moderate resistance.
- Forward tilt resistance. Palms support the chin, then try to tilt the head forward. The principle of all exercises is the same – the pressure of the hands and head on each other.
- Resistance to tilting backwards. Hands are located at the back of the head, as if pushing the head forward. In this case, we perform a backward tilt, meeting the resistance we need.
Since the exercises are devoid of weight, you can perform them in 15-20 repetitions.
The main thing is to listen to your body and not overload your muscles.
Pumping neck with additional shells
Professional pumping of the neck in the hall includes a whole set of exercises, affecting, among other things, the muscles of the Delta and trapezius. And it’s fair. In this case, the muscle mass increases harmoniously and proportionally. And yet, at the end of the class, you can perform two special exercises aimed solely at pumping the muscles of the neck. The technique is quite simple, there should not be any problems with execution. In order for the exercises to bring only benefit, you need to repeat no more than 6-8 times.
Lifting head lying on the stomach
We lie down on a flat bench(shoulders, neck and head remain overhang). We put the weight on the nape of the neck and, with exhalation, we begin to reach them to the back.
Lifting the head lying on the back
The principle of execution is the same. We lie on the bench in the same way, only now with the back. On the forehead we put the weight and with an exhalation we pull the chin to the trunk.
A little about precautions
Exercises for pumping the neck muscles are almost the most traumatic in the field of fitness. To avoid trouble, each of them should be carried out slowly, measured and accurately, preferably with the constant consultation and assurance of a coach.
There is a whole list of diseases that completely or partially exclude the performance of exercises for pumping the muscles of the neck. These include:
- osteochondrosis in the acute stage;
- heart diseases ( hypertension, hypotension, tachycardia);
- any ORV or ORV also automatically cancels classes.
It is important to remember one more rule of courses aimed at pumping the cervical region. It is better to perform 5-6 easy workouts in a week than to lie down completely for 2-3 times. Overexertion of the neck is dangerous, so the loads must be dosed.
It is absolutely necessary to stop training if you feel pain in the neck or back, difficulties in movements or a pressure jump. In these cases, it is necessary to immediately consult a doctor.
