Neck Strength

Many feats of strength involve parts of the body that are normally thought of as weak or fragile. When you can display strength here you must be strong. In this page we feature neck strength.

When people see these feats they commonly think that you’re going to break your neck. The truth is the average person probably would, but with years of training the neck can do amazing feats of strength. Plenty of old timers engaged in these feats, including probably the most well known, Martin ‘Farmer’ Burns who once took the hangman’s drop and hung for time without harm.

The wrestler’s bridge is a common exercise used to build neck strength. Taken to the next level it becomes an intense feat of strength.

The man who is known for having the World’s Strongest Neck Mike The Machine Bruce lifts 405 lbs with his neck. He has also hung himself before!
