How do you guys strengthen your neck? I have started off by just holding my own head down as if in plumb clinch, and pulling the head up and then letting it down again.
Do you guys use a rope and a weight as the thais do?
Also, do you train the front and side of the neck, by lying on your back and lifting the head just above the ground and holding it for a minute?
In videos I have only seen thais training the back side of the neck, not the front, that's why I'm asking.
My gym doesn't really do neck training, I guess because it's a kickboxing gym and we don't have any clinch work. But I'd like to add it to my training because I'd like to also be able to grapple and I have noticed my neck is always fucked up after some grappling. :P
I'd also like to be able to move on to MT without having neck problems. I've heard of countless people getting neck injuries/problems when they start MT.
