The full read
Neck circumference responds well to direct work — studies on athletes show measurable girth gains in 8–12 weeks. A developed neck raises the visual weight of the lower face and improves the profile line from chin to chest. Train it like calves: light, controlled, high-frequency. Skip if you have cervical spine issues.
