Any good excercise to make a strong neck?
Nanthony said:You can do wrestler bridges. Which is simply balancing on your head with only your legs planted on the ground. Try to hold that position for a seconds.
matsumi said:rory_44, I also do those exercises and I found them to be a lot harder than I first thought they would be. And the good part about doing those movements is there is no pressure on the neck except for the weight of your head, so there is very little chance of injury.
johnnydussimo said:Yeah, but there's also buggerall resistance.
If you can work up to a good wrestling bridge (forward and back) you will be worlds ahead of lying on your back bringing your chin to your chest

I've tried them many times, and sure they get tiring if you do a hundred of them, but in terms of redundancy that's up there with doing 52 reps of cable curls. It's pure endurance and won't build much strength.
How far do you bridge, if you find these head lifts so much tougher than bridging? I assume you don't use your hands, and can touch your nose to the mat behind you at the very least
