Neck muscle training
Synonyms in the broadest sense
Neck training, weight training, muscle building, bodybuilding, fitness
description
Neck muscle training is an isolated workout of the descending part of the trapezoidal muscle. The training effort is relatively high compared to other exercises, and the percentage of muscles trained during the exercise is very low. This is why isolated neck muscle training is only used in bodybuilding. Time can be used more meaningfully in health training and fitness training.
The neck muscles can only be contracted by lifting the shoulder blades. However, training this muscle group should only be used as a supplement in planning for advanced users.

- Trapezius (M. trapezius)
- Shoulder lifter (M. levator scapulae)
