Neck Muscle

The following is an excerpt from a story about the importance of neck development and how it can be a 'history' of your own health and where you have been:

In the course of the conversation this man said to me: "you can talk as you please, but I as an athlete judge a man's development more by the size and contour of his neck than by any other way. For what a man is, and what he has done, shows up in his neck, and in the full, firm contour of these muscles just as thought he had drawn a map for you."

If you observe people's necks, you will see hundreds of
different sizes and shapes before you have looked very far. Some are so
fleshy in the back that a great many wrinkles can be seen. Others are
exceedingly fleshy in front, causing one to two extra chins. Necks that are
stringy and appear to have two ugly cords running towards the top of the head
in the back are not uncommon. Prominent "Adam's apples" and scrawny, cordy
appearances are often seen in the front of the neck.

Muscle Neck

To think that the writer 'as an athlete' would judge one by his neck is odd. I have known guys that can bench > 300 lbs. yet if the jog 30 feet they are done for. Endurance is the way I say to judge health.
