I kinda expect someone in leather with a whip to be standing next to the guy.

Seriously, no offense to those that do this excercise, i don't like making fun of anyone and i'm sure it's a good excercise.

But when i first saw it i was like you're kidding right!

It's okay to make fun of someone for doing that. You gotta love the knuckleheads who try to invent exercises that no one else does so they can feel special.

ok 1st off morvak, how long have you been lifting, secondly, surely you've seen this done estray.. I mean, the older lifters on here have to remember this exercise, right? What are you suppose to use if you don't accessibility to a neck machine? Performed correctly, that's actually a good lift to strengthen and build your neck. If i'm not mistaken, we had this in our weight room in college or maybe highschool. No offense taken, but it does show you guys' inexperience as lifters.

I've seen it done many times but it still cracks me up. It would seem to me if someone has put in a lot of time lifting and has built up his traps especially, he won't have a skinny neck. My neck gets thicker as I get bigger, anyway.

Huge bump ^ I personally would use one if my gym didn't have a machine. I would put a few 45's and start with some sets.

still looks funny. no reason to take anything too seriously. like when i go to push the last rep and rip a giant fart, i dont get mad at people for laughing at things that are funny.

If you do that enough, you will be a meathead.

"Today I'm working ankles and head" lol

jking, guys. It's just a funny exercise to see someone do. Then again, shrugs are kinda funny, too you look like a little kid pretending he's a muscleman.(yes I do shrugs)
Can't take yourself too seriously

LMFAO. Thats my point exaxtly. As if ppl dont do enough dumb isolation exercises theres one more. If your playing football i can see its use. Other than that looks like a waste of time to me.

Or maybe if you're a fighter and people always put you in a headlock.

Do them in the privacy of your own home. Like Bill Clinton said, don't ask, don't tell.

Definately seems like one of those exercises you would want to do in the privacy of your own home.
